Fwiw, I believe that in future history books our time will be dubbed the "Digital Age". We truly witnessed our own version of the industrial revolution that we all read/learned about in school. From corded phones and dial.up.modems to smartphones and wifi, all in the span of a couple decades.
I do like the ring of that name. It really is crazy to think of the technological leaps and bounds that have happened over the past 30 years or so. Big business and government had computers in the 80s but they weren't practically sized by any stretch of the imagination but in the early 90s when a home PC became a thing to the beginnings of the Internet to the incredible expansion of that is crazy. Cellular tech took the same type of giant strides too.
It's 100% an industrial revolution that shifted the dynamic of how people work and interact and honestly there's still quite a few people playing catch-up in that regard and I think that's where we see a good amount of these pain points.
