What the hell is Infrastructure Inversion?

Throughout history, technology always manages to plateau. The point at which the current systems can no longer support the evolving needs of our technologically astute society. When this happens, there is typically a shift that takes place, an inversion of sorts where a new infrastructure is built to support the technologies of tomorrow. This typically takes place due to limitations of the present infrastructure that no longer allow for innovation. Humanity has seen this take place countless times over the years and it continues to happen at an even greater pace today. When the incumbent infrastructure reaches its potential, there is always a new technology that paves the way for a brand-new infrastructure, allowing for innovation and invention to flourish once again.
