That is, of course, what they all thought, until gradually then suddenly, it was not so anymore.

You've also missed my deeper point, which is that your analogy sucks, as you're comparing apples to oranges.

That is clear in this case as well, since once thing is human languages, another is technology, which changes at an insane rate and evolves exponentially.

What takes 200 years in the domain of changing customs in usage of human language, might take 10 years in the domain of technology.
