I think the trend here was missed. The fast change is not a new event but rather a continuous trend that moved laterally into business. It's decentralization, and it's been occuring throughout history. For example, equality is a form of decentralization that has taken quite a while to manifest. You've also got decentralization in information, labor (specialization), and housing. The next one that we desperately need is energy decentralization: we need to have smaller, agile, and more incremental methods of generating energy. The tech is coming along so we'll be able to do this, and some of the tech will only work well if it's not scalable. My $.02
