This is true (and a problem worth debating).

But it would intuitively suggest that the total amount of work to do would reduce. Instead, somehow, we have always found new stuff to do in the past.

new stuff = worthless meetings, powerpoints, emails & pretending to look busy

I play an MMO and people in Europe regularly tell me that they are playing at their desk or in meetings.

Given the number of people I've seen you spend more time on chat and social media instead of work task I would say that we have found more new ways to not work while getting paid.
