The Islamic Golden Age, the Renaissance and the Enlightenment could probably (at their times) be considered quite important as well, I'm sure there are many more examples of these kinds of 'revolutions' or 'key milestones'. Perhaps not as impactful as the agricultural or industrial revolution, but we don't have distance from the time to determine if our current milestone will be either.

For me the agricultural and industrial revolutions stand out as two inflection points, so if we are proposing lining up with them, we'd need pretty strong evidence. They both effectively fundamentally changed the way of life for the majority of humans on the planet. Agree we are too close to say about our own rate of change.
