Some things change, some things don’t. Using computers changed my everyday life completely, and yet in other parts of the world many people continue to die from hunger. Is this a new present, or a business-as-usual present? Is daily life more or less the same if people spend most of their time working and gossiping, but now they work for big corporations and gossip via Facebook?

I would say basically the same, though it sounds like many might disagree.
And quite often, those are the same people; there are people who decided to forgo running water (as opposed to carrying it miles in urns every day) to get a smartphone. Quite a lot of them if I remember correctly. It’s not even linear on a local scale.
