I think the great innovations of high bandwidth are still to come; imagine doctors able to pull data and compute from anywhere instantly on any device, or even streaming live doctors anywhere in the world, or CERN able to send results as soon as they are processed, or complete 4k classrooms from multiple angles.

Bit pie in the sky I know - but a bit of a dream!

I am guessing you live in developed nations and would like to know how such innovations have changed the basic things people do, e.g. banking, shopping, and other services.

Except for 4k video, I'm sure all of this is already being done today.
