Purely digital consumer products are emotion machines. You feed it with your attention or money, you get an emotional return. The technology that's innovating on this aspect is improving on these axes: 1. Asymmetric returns in emotional potency. Small(er) investment needed than ever before for outsized results.

2. Novelty of feeling. Applications that can engender different parts of the human condition that previously were not digitally reproducible. 3. Consistency. This feels contradictory to #2, but applications that can consistently deliver fresh, pleasurable emotions is king.

The four fundamental building blocks that make the new paradigm possible are: 1. Crypto. You can now wield financial incentives with previously impossible payout structures designed to enhance the three axes above. There is no limit to the degree of complexity for each transaction.

3. Mobile. This was the earliest key breakthrough that we regard today as "old news", but the fact that we all have a personal, always online, interface that can provide push notifications is in the bedrock of this paradigm.

4. Cloud. As @naval referenced, these are infinitely scalable robots able to do anyone's bidding that are stored in Amazon datacenters for energy efficiency. It is here where consumer digital products gain their asymmetric upside where a $100 a month server can service tens of thousands of users.
