The examples he gives don't support his point very well. The arrival of moveable type, for example, set off an era of exciting changes that lasted a lot more than a generation. I'm not sure what Mark Cuban has stored in his head on that subject, but I suspect it would fit on a 3x5 index card.
The wheel was the defining breakthrough for a generation? This is not a man you want to take history lessons from.
His fundamental mistake is that he doesn't realize that social changes take a lot longer than technical ones. And new mediums of communication cause a lot of social changes. The Facebook would have been possible in 1995. It didn't happen till 2004. There would be a lot more such innovations still in the pipeline even if the physical Internet stopped changing today. (Not that it will.)
