The major changes to "consumer" behaviour were the Aricultural and Industrial revolutions. I'm unsure when the so-called "Information revolution" began - with the first writing, which was Sumerian accounting records (certainly data storage and processing)? Perhaps markets and the "consumer" were the most fundamental change. We try to accomodate technological change - shape it to existing consumer behaviour - rather than change everything. A great example is Moore's Law. The mind-boggling doubling of transistor density fortyearly is now routine. We're actually unsettled by the hiccups at 10nm. Thought experiment: can you imagine a new technology which changed costs so drastically that current societal structures (municipal; national; consumer/market; informational) could not accomodate them, and instead would require another revolution? [limited by imagination, of course] At some point, we'll have succeeded at modelling human nature, and we're self-limited from further change. Aliens might do things differently (or might not - it coud be that the greater part of humanity is just cooperative intelligence, common to all sapients).
