Mind-quake
First example that comes to my mind is media versus new media. For younger people the mix of old and new media isn't anything new. But for older people it makes quite big difference, because they consume only printmedia, TV and radio. They now that there is such thing as internet but most of them don't use it. I also believe that the term "new media" itself is new for the older generation.
Handy's paradox
Changes in work and employment
While new methods allow more flexible approaches, the work in internet-based company can be done where ever is internet connection. Is there a chance for flexible work time also, depends on the mode of the job.
But I agree that this paradox has its negative sides also. If a worker belongs in a team then presence and active communication is important - otherwise there can be distractively many misunderstandings. Yes, the new way of working gives a lot freedom but it also demands huge self discipline and responsibility.
I'd also like to point out the paradox of timeless time that allows to share the work globally.
