Yea let's look at how this has played out.
Did we get the promised 20 hour work week? Fuck NO! We work more today than we used to work.
Did we get more efficiency? A few companies did but most got people who take twice as long to fuck around with the computer than to just use a pen and paper.
Did we get smarter people?
FUCK NO! We got fucking village idiots so idiotic that even Hell is rejecting them. (Check the politics section for some village idiots)
Did we get more money in our pockets ? Fuck NO! We got a handful of entitled brats who bitch that they can't get complimentary sushi, yoga mats and red wine on tap in the workplace.
In 1970 the average shmuck on a mediocre salary could afford a house, a reliable car, a wife and still save money for his kid's education. Today he can't even get crap at the dollar store for a dollar. But considering how fucked up and shitty the world is becoming I'm betting it won't be too much longer before computers are turned into clubs for the upcoming civil war.
