From what I see, a lot more productivity can still be extracted from existing technology if only people would try to use it more. Configuring software is regularly more complicated than it needs to be. And software developers are tied in to using the 'language of software' (visual and written language to describe widgets, disk space, bandwidth, latency, whatever) in their applications, leading to many users being unable to understand the capabilities of the tools they use. Education of the next generation of kids to better understand software will tremendously help this. But so will, I think, design that pays more attention to sensible defaults when releasing software to market to solve specific problems, rather than leave it to users to configure things to their needs.
