Thing is the networked age had already emerged in the 1980s - PCs, email, computer hacking, etc. The first big computer virus was in 1988. Most people weren't directly involved yet but that didn't mean the technology didn't exist. By comparison, TL 7 technically starts in 1940 but how common was TL 7 technology in the 1940s? 1980 seems as good a starting point as any.
