Hmm. I think you are trying to say 'wow things have gotten so much faster even than that'.
But what if we read this comic to say, instead: people in 1995 talked like things were going super fast, and people in 2022 say the exact same things....

Maarten De Ridder makes this claim: https://cepr.org/voxeu/columns/untouchable-firms-market-power-business-dynamism-and-productivity-growth-intangible
The slowdown of productivity growth, the decline of business dynamism, and the rise of market power and firm concentration are three trends that have attracted a lot of attention in academic and policy debates. This column points to the rising use of intangible inputs as a unified explanation for these trends. Firms with high intangible adoption disrupt sectors and initially boost productivity, but negatively affect the entry of new firms and suppress the effect of R&D on innovation and growth in the long run.
