If the web was not a giant shift, then I don't know what is. If mobile was not a giant shift, then I don't know what is.
The web created a searchable, worldwide instant knowledge base in which mankind shares what it knows.

For all of these examples, the time going from "most people are aware of it" to "most people use it" was less than 20 years.
