I was with a company making ColdFusion and ASP websites back in 1997 actually. In addition to using Java 1.1.5. There was way more work than we could handle. The dot-com boom was in full effect by then. So while the net is bigger now, it wasn't really that much different than what it was back then. No new significant widespread protocols have been developed since then, really...
Maybe if Beatrice described using Flash for navigation (hey, she is a witch, after all), then we can get a little suspicious.
Edit: Oh, and people had cel-phones as well. And Japanese restaurants on the west coast, though not as authentic as now. The Matrix was released in 1999 and we were already using DVDs by then, although they were just coming into adoption.
