The one part of your blog that stands out the most to me is how history of computing is “slower than instantaneous breakthroughs”. Most people enjoy the constant change that technology provides, but the adoption of such technologies take years. For example, the idea of “flying cars” is present upon movies, books, and any narratives of what the future of technology holds, but such technology seems decades away. However, flying cars exist across the globe as safe forms of transportation, but it has not reached the public sector due to the large cost of these flying machines. Therefore, I support the search of your question on how the speed of adoption of new technologies affect our lives. Although I may not know the answer either, I do suspect that it raises the question: what futuristic technological advancements that will alter our way of life exist today, but we are not aware of since they are not public yet?
