I have a knee-jerk inclination to agree, but when I think harder about it, I'm not sure if that's just a bias towards the technologies that I had the most free time to spend on -- when I was a kid. I want to say that Reddit is a poor imitation of IRC, and IRC wasn't really anything new because there were BBSs ... but I probably spent more time on BBSs and IRC than I've spent on Reddit. So, for me, those things have left a greater impression. For younger people who've never dialed up a BBS, Reddit seems amazing. In general, yeah, the early 90s seems like a whirlwind of technological change compared to today. But, I bet if I asked my dad, he'd say that the 70s and 80s were moreso, because he worked in television distribution systems and has never been really comfortable with a computer. And I bet if he asked his dad, it would be highways and transportation ... and so on. 2014 is the "social" age, and that's not something I've participated in very much. So I'm probably less likely to see Snapchat and whathaveyou as a really big deal.
