It's not much that we learned it at the 90's. It's that it became true at around the 90's. It used to be false, but computers became faster, memory more plentiful, and the fundamental physical limitations of networks didn't change a bit (well, fundamental physical limitations never do).

It has become more and more true each passing year.
