Is this really a de-industrialization story? Is manufacturing much more efficient since that time, or has the economy moved onto other less energy intensive tasks, say through outsourcing them to Asia?
Are you in the US, and is it possible to obtain a CGM without a prescription?
The clock precision (100s of ppm) of the NIC oscillators on either side of a network connection gives a physical upper limit on the Ethernet packet size. The space between the packets lets the slower side "catch up". See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interpacket_gap for more info.
We could use more precise oscillators to have longer packets but at a more expensive cost.
