The notion of revolution, to be fully understood, requires additional examples. When I studied history, I had the opportunity to learn about many revolutions that shaped the world. When the French discovered steam and the British harnessed it, the ability to build steam machines and engines revolutionized the economy, and the results altered the concept of production in a previously inconceivable way. In the wool industry, one person's work day amounted to almost nothing when compared to the steam machine's work day. Another important factor behind revolutions is that you sense when they happen, but you have no idea how far they will go.
Electricity is a good example.
This is typical of a revolution. You do not draw up a revolution and define how far it will go. Once the world adopts it or gives life to it, it gets out of hand. Just as Louis XVI saw the French revolution of 1789 get out of hand and make him its most important victim. With that in mind, I believe that the concept of a revolution with computers is totally overused, if not absurd.
