Not sure this was the term°, "the economist" had an article on that matter.

But for what it's worth, my mobile Chrome browser doesn't display abbr tags properly. Had to look into the xml-version of your post.

°) I think the term was "technological paradigm (shift)" , unfortunately the article I was referring to is now behind a paywall

    I think that's a Robert Anton Wilson reference (The Illuminatus! trilogy):
    “Don’t ask me,” Barney shrugged. “I can follow my brother when he talks about the history of Satanism, but not when he tries to explain its motivations. He uses technical theological terms about ‘immanentizing the Eschaton,’ but all I can understand is that it has something to do with bringing on the end of the world.”
