Does anyone else agree with me that computers at work, basically destroy productivity not increase i

I was an engineer (a REAL engineer, not a f-ing computer engineer) for 14 years, and early in my career (mid-90s) I didn't even have a PC at my desk. No email, no databases which control everyone's life at work these days, no meeting notices on Outlook, no Power point presentations to create (we are all expected to be friggin professional publishers and presenters now).

I got TEN TIMES MORE WORK DONE when all i had was a few excellent reference books, a big, clean desk, and no goddam emails beeping at me literally every 18 seconds. The only high tech thing i had was a 120-dollar nerdy calculator.

I was able to design large pieces of complex equipment and manage multiple projects all by myself without Microsoft Office, MS Project, MS Outlook, million-dollar databases, and the scourge of humanity - EMAIL.

Are there any good books written about the degenerate work environment utterly destroyed by computers that i can read to remind me that i'm not the only one who thinks this?

You made me think back there for a minute with this one. I do remember when I started working in the early 90's. I did have a computer because I processed my work on it, but it was not the center piece of my job like it is now.

I moved up, and then began reviewing reports, and processing refunds, then I moved onto the Actuarial department and figured out calculations. I still remember the day when we all got e-mail.
