Productivity has grown! But not for everyone, sadly.
Some people are now magnitudes more productive than they were before. But that requires an understanding of technology, and a drive for improving tools, process, and themselves. The people who can do this effectively are reaping the productivity benefits.
Sadly, not everyone is. Some people don't want to do it. Many don't have access to the the instruction that would allow them to unlock these productivity gains. Many productivity tools continue to suffer from usability issues, which limit who can harness them.
I'm an optimist. The past has show that eventually, most people can benefit from productivity gains. It takes time for tools to become easy enough for the majority to benefit from them. It's happening all around us.
