I'd love to see a study of these tech adoption trends and their effect in an even shorter timescale like in post-Soviet countries.

In Russia even a few years ago, all my friends' parents would obsessively pickle the hell out of whatever they could grow. My impression is now that that tradition has almost disappeared among the younger generations.

I'm from an East European country and can confirm that the pickle obsession seems to be a lot less relevant for the newer generations. But I think the cause for this is better access to western style supermarket chains and not technological.

Supermarkets are enabled both by refrigeration and by trucking. How is that not technological?
