I don't mean to be pedantic, but Smalltalk is a lot older than that (think 1971). Which raises the interesting question of when the last truly fundamental innovation was.

Edit: it's an interesting enough question that I posted it separately: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=470927.

Wikipedia said 1980 was when it was publicly available, so that's what I went with.
