Umm… the internet is older than 25 years. So is e-mail (and huh, e-mail is an internet protocol so does it warrant it’s own entry?) and personal computers. Hell, I think a few of these are actually older than 25 years old actually. I know cell phones have been around for over 25 years (AT&T began working on prototypes in 1947!) in some form or another, albeit a LARGE form. The people who put together this list should be taken out and shot.
i think the list pertains to the general publics access and acceptance of said items. sure.. the internet has been around for awhile.. but it has only had prominent growth over the past 5-10 years right?
