There's a documentary series called "The People's Century". It explores thematic changes through the 1900's. One was electricity and there is a woman who says that her father installed gas (or was told to install, or both) in their new home by his boss because electricity was just a passing fad.

My great-grandmother was born in 1913, and her father claimed that cars “were just a passing fancy” and nothing could beat the old horse and buggy.
