Hmmn. I don't know about evidence, but Paul Goldberger noticed this
same shift in 2003:
Paul Goldberger, "Disconnected Urbanism," Metropolis, (November 2003).

I have my students read this article as part of a technology
reporting class I offer every other year.
Cheers,

"A mind once stretched by a new idea never regains its original dimension."
- Oliver Wendell Holmes
"The student of media soon comes to expect the new media of any
period to be classed as pseudo by those who acquired the patterns of
earlier media, whatever they may happen to be."
- Marshall McLuhan
"Our government is the potent, the omnipresent teacher. For good or
for ill, it teaches the whole people by its example. Crime is
contagious. If the government becomes a law-breaker, it breeds
contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself;
it invites anarchy."
- Louis Brandeis, Olmstead v. United States 277 U.S. 438, 485 (1928).
"It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a
thought without accepting it."
-- Aristotle
"The highest form of morality is not to feel at home in one's own
home." - Theodor Adorno
