Among the obvious differences between now and then is the pace of technological development and adoption of newer technologies.
"Having said that, the pace of technological development in the renewable space has been extraordinary".
"New opportunities are opening up due to the breathtaking pace of technological development".
These are geographical substitution (arbitrage), quality of service (QoS), and the continuing pace of technological development.
The rapid pace of technological development has hastened the rise and fall of different industries, weakening job security.
However, the rapid pace of technological development means that applying theoretical guidance in this domain is challenging.
In addition, once any given standard approach is implemented, the pace of technological development almost assuredly outdates it.
However, due to the rapid pace of technological development, the relevance of many of the published comparisons are quickly brought into question.
The process of validating an assessment or treatment is remarkably slow when compared with the pace of technological development (Price et al. 2013).
The first is the extreme speed of technological evolution, and hence of technofossil evolution.
