In my view development on the whole ceased stone cold dead around 1997. There's sure to have been the oddd exceptions and some more consumer type tech might not have progressed past 1995-96, but mid 1997 is a good rule of thumb in my book.
While I try not to advance technology beyond 1996 (2001 for military wares) or so I do think the game designers under estimated the technological advancement which would take place in the civilian market in the 13 years between 1984 and 1997. For example I don't think they expected over 600 million personal computers to be in use in 1997. To quote "Free City of Krakow"
