There hasn't been anything new in CS since the 80s.
No really.
Nothiing.
AJAX was new. Used to be the terminal and back-end would only exchange data when you hit the xmit key, and of course the web re-invented this pattern adding nothing new, but then it actually went a step beyond. Of course, it's mostly abused in horrible ways to punish the user for the crime of being a customer, but then, what tool isn't?
Other than that, yup, mostly re-inventing of the wheel by people young enough not to be there for the last trip round.
