I think for the modern young reader, the second and third books do seem terribly out of date, enough to where it will throw them out of the narrative and make them put the books down. Those of us who are enjoying (or re-enjoying) the books as adults, I think we're more willing to accept the disconnect, even as we notice it.
I re-read High Wizardry fairly recently, and I did wonder how it might be different if it were first published today. Now I won't have to wonder. :)
