freelender.org - ahead of it's time?

Does this quote from Forum for the Future imply that the freelender.org website is ahead of its time, or simply that the social structure more able to support a post-carbon future for the UK is happening more quickly than anticipated?
"Local sharing schemes like Landshare, Hospitality Club and Freelender.org  mean you don't need to own your allotment, car or drill, and you can sofa-surf your way around the world without ever having to book a hotel. Such schemes were predicted only two years ago in Forum for the Future's project 'Low Carbon Living 2022; but are already proliferating on the web."
(Editorial from Forum for the Future;  probably the leading UK environmental think-tank).
