One thing that jumps out at me is a division of technologies between those that are adopted in subgeneration time scales (internet, cell phone, etc.), those that are adopted on generational timescales (TV, microwave, etc.) and those that are slower than generational (phones, cars, maybe electricity).
I added to my post that decentralization seems to be the unifying demarcation for those requiring significant capital infrastructure (whereas the internet leveraged the pre-existing phone and cable TV networks, and wireless towers are subleased from smaller entities).
Also note that the internet and cell phone cost nearly nothing relative to our income levels now, as compared to TV and microwave were luxury items for a long time. Also the utility of the microwave is not agreed upon by all people. There are many people today who prefer not to use a microwave, e.g. myself recently on a Paleo diet.
