>It sounds as though your argument is essentially that many of the inventions provided by the Digital Revolution, while exciting and appealing and sexy — and maybe, because they are so sexy, they gain more of our attention than they warrant — that as exciting and sexy, etc., as they are... they don’t stand at all in comparison to the breakthroughs of the earlier technological revolution. This is the perspective of an outsider looking into the world of tech. As someone on the inside, I would argue that those benefits simply haven't arrived yet. I just left a start up who business model was automating a large (Multi-billion $), ancient industrial vertical and who's only technological improvement since the invention of the telephone was using excel rather than paper ledgers.
