You can kind of use Back to the Future to perceive technology supercycles.
BTTF’s magic sense of vertigo is its juxtaposition of 1985 vs 1955. The time periods feel so different: sprawl has yet to take over. Everything is a little small and quaint. Culture is very different, from race and integration, to architecture, music, dress.
If you used tried the same difference between 2024 and 1994, it’s not going to ring with the same resonance.
