Yep, remember people thinking everyone would be made redundant by computers at the time.

That's a very sweeping judgement of office workers. How do you know this? Meetings are part of a work day, regardless of how valuable or…

9 day fortnight is just compressing 10 days work/hours into 9 days, it isn't a free hit.

Agreed. People are conned into thinking they need "flagship" phones when this sort of thing would do the job perfectly well for most.

And most non teachers work their arse off 48 weeks a year and put in extra hours on top of what their contracted hours are.
