From a consumer perspective - Cheaper phones, they're just slower - Lower resolution videos and images, less data, less cpu cost. - Single shared desktop instead of everyone having a laptop - Literally the same --- From a business/software eng perspective - Less compute, let things take longer. - More efficient programming languages. Simplify problems (e.g. use aggregate statistics instead of working on the whole data set). - Timesharing on servers - Pen and paper for people who don't really need one? Don't buy the delivery driver a computer, just tell them where to go? This one is hard to make a business analogy out of.
