I hope that happens but labour productivity has substantially plateaued in many in many OECD countries so there is little sign now that IT will have the same impact that the printing press, machine tools, electrification etc.
I'm a true believer in technology improving human wellbeing however. There will be future technological revolutions that do have a profound impact on improving material quality of life. Human intellect really is the well that never runs dry. It's just that we don't appear to be in such a revolution right now.
