As a general rule, the effects of any new technology take longer to
come through than most people expect, and then, when they do, have
greater significance than was at first appreciated.
We can see that with the internet and mobile telephony, two
technologies that have now had a decade of mass-market development and
have been rolled out more swiftly than just about any other previous
technology. They have, for example, been adopted even more rapidly
than the personal computer and much more so than the fixed-line phone.
