The revolution is in how you spend your time. On an ordinary day when you know what you want for lunch, it can take under a minute to pop in and get it, under 10 seconds if you’re in a hurry.

none of these things are a "revolution"

Yeah, revolution is definitely hyperbole, but from experience it does change the way you think about “popping into a store” because it really can take so little time. This can be both good and bad; you can pick up lunch in a hurry without that frustrating 5 minutes waiting to pay, but on the other hand you can also pick up a chocolate chip cookie between meetings far far too easily.
