Maybe the problem is the big tech producers that introduce new technologies over and over, that don't raise productivity but create churn, force software rewrites, etc.
Tech history looked at from 40yr perspective, really seems like reinventing wheels over and over. I'm not sure if there is another industry with so much churn yet with a lot of rehashing of old ideas.
