Right, it would be more accurate to say "getting away with achieving nothing". You still need to do the busywork.
Of course plenty of people don't achieve very much, but it makes a big difference whether you're trying to achieve something, or just coasting. (Edit to cynically add: or does it??)
Knowing what an actual carbon copy is, or how telephones used to look like, or that the save icon is a diskette - all of these are becoming Sheldon-esque ”fun facts“, semi-interesting historical tidbits. I’m really curious which effect the digital age will have, long-term. How many other symbols and physical world metaphors will fall into obscurity?
