The classic homeostatic fallacy. People routinely forget that history is not linear. When new capabilities comes along, they just assume it will make the current world continues on its path. They fail to consider the new niches and industries that a change will create/destroy and the increasing complexity it will result in. For example: micro computers and office software suites were going to make us more productive and thus result in the "4 day work week" since we'd have so much free time. The reality is people were laid off (don't need as many) and those that remained were doing multiple times the work. As the "cloud" gains more traction businesses will find it easier to consume IT, but it will result in ever greater consumption of IT services and more elaborate use of them in business. Figure out exactly how and you'll be a millionaire.
