In last 50 years or so, the rate of change in tech > the rate the human civilization can cope. This is more pronounced after early 90s.

With the inventions like printing-press, electricity, electric motor, humans still had about more than a century to adapt around it and culminating into commoditized products like fridge, car, fans etc. This impacted how the average family stores food, transport, comfort. This in turn gave rise to processed foods which could be stored for a longer time. With transportation upgrades words like "commuting" to office became part of daily lives.

However, what the way things have changed (esp in last 10-15 years) has a much fundamental impact. Example, our law is not able to keep-up with the advancements and the complexities it brings.

Another example: remote work. Never in history, humans from all over the globe can collaborate at a scale. If sizable population shifts to this mode, it will have cascading effect on things like: the way cities are planned, transportation, physical entertainment (malls, disney-land, etc), labour laws, etc.
