We had air gapped systems (we didn't have internet) in the 90s and they still got viruses(from floppy disks). I don't understand what is new?

Hell, there was a time dropping USB sticks in a parking lot would get systems like this infected. That might be how Stuxnet got into the Iranian centrifuges.
