Urban Spirits and Elementals

Lately I've been working with a number of spirits that are localized to my neighborhood. The Interesting thing is they are not natural spirits (of the flora and fauana of the area) but of things like smoke, oil/gas, plastic, electricity, metal, and concrete. many of them resemble natural spirits, for instance concrete spirits are very similiar to earth spirits, however there are some slight differences.
So what does this all mean?
I suspect that the nature of elemental magic is shifting, in that new elemental forces are becoming present. these energies, which i believe where once qliphothic in nature, are beginning to become more and more naturalized, meaning they are beginning to become more akin to nature spirits than daemonic spirits. I believe this is because we as a species have begun taking these Daemonic spirits and have made them such a common part of life our conceptualization of them, and thus their very essence, has begin to shift.
Now this leaves another bit for one to ponder; what of the pre-established elemental energies?
What if, and this is purely hypothetical, the pre-established elementals began to shift into qliphothic energies? what would this mean for the nature of magick?
I guess only time will tell...
