Telephony is one of the analogies. Many developing countries' rural villages could simply leapfrog the landline telephone technology and move directly to cell phones. Computers - instead of desktops, straight to smart phones and tablets. Banking - instead of a lot of bank branch offices and having to travel and queue, straight to online banking (and even being very advanced compared to many western countries). It could be so with refrigeration. Solar power is potentially a really good fit for that. Maybe electric scooters will do a lot for mobility at some point and people can skip the whole car thing.
