Even the Industrial and Information Ages only took place in developed nations.
It’s kinda hard to say that “everyone” is behind a development when a significant portion of humanity still cooks over an open fire and doesn’t have indoor plumbing.
The idea of “developed nations” was only started as a way to target new markets for our industrial companies. I.e. growth had slowed to a point that they needed more places to sell our goods to, to make line go up.
And yet, you haven’t addressed the larger point. How can you say “everyone” is taking part in a new societal age if a large percentage of humanity is still agrarian and living nomadically?
I wasn’t trying to “address the larger point,” and I didn’t say the thing you’re demanding I defend. I was only making the point that developed nations are considered “developed” because they participated in the Industrial Revolution.

The Industrial Age defined what a developed nation is. To say that it only took place in developed nations is a tautology.

It’s utterly nonsensical.
