Of course, we haven't undone 200 years of history in the Internet's single decade as a commercial environment. We are changing aspects of the human experience that have great inertia, however, such as the size of cities and the nature of the corporation and entrepreneurship. These changes can easily take thirty or forty years, but the eventual outcome will be dramatic.

Undoing the Industrial Revolution Summary: The last 200 years have driven centralization and changed the human experience in ways that conflict with evolution. The Internet will reestablish a more balanced, decentralized lifestyle. For the last 200 years, humankind has lived and worked in ways that conflict with evolution. The primary culprit, industrialization, harks back to Watt's steam engine in 1769, but truly picked up steam in 1801 with Jacquard's loom, which used punched cards to automate the weaving process. A vast number of nineteenth-century engineering innovations followed and literally changed the world. Before I start tearing it down, I should acknowledge the industrial revolution's positive outcome: it has generated unprecedented wealth during its 200-year run. In most industrialized nations, the biggest health problem today is that people get obese because there's too much food and it's too cheap. My own discipline of usability exists because material needs are so amply cared for that society can devote resources to making things easy and pleasant as well.
