The idea is akin to dog years. What used to happen in seven years now happens in one. Or so the theory goes. It's a cute idea. In fact, technologies get adopted at nearly the same pace as they have for more than a century.
Revolutions take decades.
Television needed about a quarter century to take off. The VCR, microwave, and telephone each required at least three decades to spread. Forty-six years passed before electricity found its way into the mainstream. The airplane and the automobile both sputtered along for more than 50 years. The burst of fax usage that speeded information exchange starting 20 years ago actually began 120 years earlier, when the fax was patented.
