The misunderstanding about PCs is like the misunderstanding about alternative fuels to gasoline ... PC's didn't make our lives easier, they simply added capability and therefore complexity to our lives ... and alternatives fuels to gasoline won't make it cheaper to drive, it'll just be another alternative fuel because no one will give away the alternative fuel for much less than the competition (gasoline).
So, basically, we're hosed. Get used to PCs (Mac's, whatever) causing more work and fuel prices being over $3/gal. It ain't gettin' any better because of "alternatives".
