The classic example is that people generally are willing to commute 20 minutes from home to work. In the Medieval city this meant working within a 20 minute walk of your home, or less than a mile. In today's city, figuring 60 mph, it can mean 20 miles.
Another classic example is in the transport of goods. When it took 5 months to import something from China to the USA, the item was a rare commodity. Silk may have been a luxury item, but it wasn't part of the culture. Today it takes days to get a product from China to the USA, so China's products are a part of our everyday culture.
