The biggest change encompasses all of the things that your talking about. Pace, and not the pace of progress, the literal pace of people. 20 years ago when I moved to the bay area, from the east coast there was still a cadence that was much slower than the "new york minute" that I was used to. Today everyone is rushing from one thing to the next, we all seem compelled to know and respond instantly. Almost everything you listed can be answered with some form of "faster" (smaller elapsed time) than we could have done it previously, and I think that is a big deal.
