Those are incremental inventions within an overarching paradigm; that being the industrial revolution. The industrial revolution is what produced those inventions, and many others that lead to the countless wars, and newer ways of thinking, which resulted in significant changes in society. Undoubted it has produced great positive changes, but in the short term it was really quite awful.The question is how great of change are we really looking at this time around. Heck is it even a revolution in the first place, or merely an incremental progress. I personally don't think it's incremental and that we're at a point where we just had the idea of collecting seeds and planting them in the ground. The resulting aftermath of that simple idea produced civilization. The resulting aftermath of computation is yet to be seen.
