Maybe. It seems like more of a period of incremental changes. I can only think of a few fundamentally NEW things to emerge in the 2012-2022 period that would stand out to most people from 2012....
-- VR going semi-mainstream and becoming a real thing even if still fairly niche
-- collapse in prices of very large flat screen TV's (even large OLED's are usually under $3000 now)
-- the Deep Learning neural net AI explosion (though practical applications have only really begun to emerge at the very end of that 2012-2022 period)
-- EV cars becoming practical
-- sudden emergence of mRNA tech spurred on by the COVID pandemic
-- wearable tech going mainstream (smart watches, fitness trackers, etc)
​
Those are each pretty significant but it still feels like 2002 - 2012 saw more fundamental changes.
