Technology - Before Sunrise

From one of my favorite movies, Before Sunrise:
Jesse: Its all these people talking about how great technology is, and how it saves all this time. But, what good is saved time, if nobody uses it? If it just turns into more busy work.
Selene: Yeah.
Jesse
: Right, I mean, you never hear somebody say, "Well, y'know, with, uh, the time I've saved by using my word processor, I'm gonna go to a Zen monastery and hang out." I mean, you never hear that.

That's how I feel about some of the projects I work on. They are all cool and do all this awesome stuff, but in the end, I know my end users are going to end up with more busy work.
