1. The tech revolutions of the past were helped by the winds of global context. There were many factors that propelled those successful technologies on the trajectories. The article seems to ignore the contextual forces completely.
2. There were many failed tech revolutions as well. Success rate was varied from very low to very high. Again the overall context (social, political, economic, global) decides the matters, not technology itself.
3. In overall context, any success is a zero-sum game. You maybe just ignoring what you lost and highlighting your gains as success.
4. A reverse trend might pickup, against technology, globalization, liberalism, energy consumption etc
