All languages always, have evolved at rapid rates, as long as they're used. If you went back in time to, say, the 1600s, you would sound stupid. If someone from the 1600s went back to the 1200s, he would sound stupid. If you went back to the 1200s, nobody would understand you.

This is not a new thing, it is how our languages work.
