This!

I'm not really sure I agree. I certainly seems like it, simply because they are the changes we, and our close relations, have been and are experiencing, but studying history reveals rather massive changes in technology and society in fairly short periods of time.

Perhaps will, given time, the internet be understood as no more than a natural evolution from the Gutenberg press (just to think of an example)?

In a sense, it already is in Communication classes.
