I'm not sure I agree with:

We do more and more with less and less until we do everything with nothing.

The impetus I see, especially with the new stuff is that everyone wants to have more and more, but are happy to do practically nothing (useful) with it.

If employers actually had more and more (useful) work for employees to do, PowerPoint would not exist, since it's only functions are to:

a) give the boss something to easily assign the crew to do that will keep them uselessly employed so they don't bother him/her.

b) give the boss a chance to take a nap while they make a "presentation" of their "work," while (s)he gets to pretend to be interested in what they've done - when if fact they haven't really done anything at all - any more than the boss really gives a rat's a** what they've done.

Maybe I'm too hard on it though, 'cause if they work real hard at it those slides can be "real purty" so they can feel like they did something "arty" even if it doesn't help the business, and art don't really have to be useful. ... so ...(?)

Like Ellen says at the end of the show:

       Aw Well....
