Many great inventions who changed the world took more than 20 years of development and research. I don't think the web has the same effect as some of these world changers. Most of them are just services, and those evolve so fast that thinking they're changing the world is wrong point of view. See Twitter, before them it were many other messaging options, but now they're the cream of that, next in line it will be maybe others, and so on. So, right now you can change the world for just a few years :), that's because everyone rushes.
