It's also not correct to claim we are no longer "stuck in an industrial type era" just because most of the Western world is post-industrial. We largely offloaded the industrial era into the third world. You don't see kids in coal mines in England but you do see people dipping circuit boards in vats of acid without protective equipment in India. We may be investing in renewables in the US and Europe but we still flood parts of Africa and the Sea with crude oil and all that lithium doesn't mine itself. The "Industrial Age" may be over but the damage is still being done and all the shiny new tech is largely window dressing. It's also not yet clear that the shiny post-Industrialism can easily exist without the rest of the world perpetually playing "catch-up" (i.e. whether it really is catching up) as our quality of living heavily hinges on underpaying other countries for resources and labor.
