By that standard, nothing has meaningfully changed since agriculture and domesticated animals. We're still killing each other, forming hierarchical societies, passing down stories, eating, drinking, sleeping, and making families - except now we're killing each other from afar with gunpowder, forming those hierarchies using the guise of democracy or whatever, passing down stories in print rather than speech, can use condoms to control when we make families, and so on.
Human civilization has accumulated many layers of systems since then and the internet changed all of them to the point that many are barely recognizable. Just ask someone who's been in prison since before the internet was a thing - there are plenty of them! They have extreme difficulty adapting to the outside world after they've been gone for forty or fifty years.
