Agree...that'll continue, because there's no constituency opposing it. Quality of life suffers, and "productivity" (in the sense of unmeasured, uncompensated time lost) is damaged. Look at bank services, home repairs, house cleaning, auto repairs (hell, gas stations are all self-serve now) any type of medical delivery...are these in any way more convenient or cheaper in real terms than 20 years ago, before the "productivity miracle" blessed us? You pay more for less for any service that can't be delivered over a wire, it's as simple as that.
