If one looks at the themes of the days of philosophers like Socrates, they were rather sinple issues like piety vs impiety—good vs. bad in human beings. Likewise for the Stoicism of Marcus Aurelius. Then comes along the Industrial Revolution and such new issues such as Materialism becomes a theme. From the 1990's we saw the techno revolution with network connected home computers—and other nano technologies continuing today (eg.: AI, genetic engineering, etc.) there has been a plethora of philosophical issues and themes that continue today.The Industrial Revolution has only been around since the 1870's and humanity has never been the same since.
