The Matrix was designed around a specific period of time. I imagine the machines just deleted most references to new technology being invented and kept it at turn of the millennium.

"Did you know that the first Matrix was designed to be a perfect human world? Where none suffered, where everyone would be happy. It was a disaster. No one would accept the program. Entire crops were lost. Some believed we lacked the programming language to describe your perfect world. But I believe that, as a species, human beings define their reality through suffering and misery. The perfect world was a dream that your primitive cerebrum kept trying to wake up from. Which is why the Matrix was redesigned to this: the peak of your civilization."

"Suffering and misery? So why not design it around the 2010-2020s?"

"That was also tried, but was similarly rejected for having too much suffering and misery. Nobody believed it was real."

I bought myself a surplus pay phone to make sure I could always exit the Matrix. They aren't that expensive these days! Buy they are a bit of a PITA to get working.
