It's been a slow shift...
... but I think that the widespread development of Web apps that allow peer-to-peer interaction of a very natural style (ie: compare Facebook to a forum) is a good example. Sure, there's been stuff like image editors for decades, and they are a good exception. But something like Facebook, or the mobile applications out there that take advantage of phone sensors... those are powerful, unique applications with mass market usage, and developers can leverage them and write them like never before. It's exciting!
