Why this option does not fit

Hemarbete ersatte fabriksarbete som främsta industriform

Domestic technology changed household tasks, not the basic organisation of industry into home-based work.

Hushåll fick digital styrning av hemmets apparater

Digital control belongs to a later phase; the image shows electricity and water in the home.

Matlagning flyttades från lägenheter till gemensamma storkök

This is a home kitchen, not a communal kitchen replacing domestic cooking.
