Streaming video services. Well of course. In 2009 I bought a house. I got basic cable along with the other utilities. A little later, a got Netflix streaming. I had been using their disc-at-home model for some time. It wasn't long before I cut the cord on that cable. Now I have Hulu and Amazon Prime Video as well. Might as well count Spotify in there. There's never enough time for it all but it is affordable so who cares?
The sharing economy. Platforms like Uber, Lyft, AirBnB. There's not a lot of good data on its extent, but it certainly has been facilitated by the smartphone.
The Occupy Movements. It all started right after the Global Financial Crisis with Occupy Wall Street. And their flip side, the Tea Party-types. Now we have Black Lives Matter, Anonymous and the #resistance versus the alt-right and MAGA deplorables on the other.
