I think you're on to something. Right around the same time someone came up
with photo-typesetting, which itself was very quickly eclipsed by digital, and
then Garamond, Bodoni, Univers - hence civilization - started to falter before

The mid-late twentieth century (high mechanical) was a technological sweet spot
across the various fields and industries.
