We are already on this path for many-many years, certainly decades if not centuries, although availability was definitely spotty in the past.

It is also kind of impossible to hop off this train, while it is individually possible to reject any of these conveniences, in general they just become a part of life. Which is not necessarily a bad thing, but just different.

Citation needed on that last sentence about ir not a bad thing, also I'm pretty sure climate change 100% counts as a collateral damage of this behavior.
