No shit. Gosh, that's why I love the Economist - so provocative, original, against-the-grain. Who ever argued the techologies haven't and wouldn't change society? The questions are how, how much, and how differently from previous episodes of change?
And computers are going on 60 years old. They've been changing society for a long time now.
