In addition to the valid points you raise, productivity versus "processor speed" (or insert whatever meaningless benchmark number one wishes) is nowhere near a linear function. In general several factors fall together now and then to make important qualitative differences and that stuff is hard or impossible to measure. The "web" itself is one of those phenomena.

If anyone really believes what they're spewing about computers having no useful impact on productivity, or life in general, I can supply a long list of third world countries where they may enjoy relocating in order to enjoy the simple life.
