Computers were supposed to make our lives easier.

Neither of these have happened. I have more paperwork now than I had 20 years ago and computers, if anything have just complicated matters...

Computers haven't made it more complicated - Windows, Adobe, Apple and others have by selling the gullible software to emulate the 19thC office rather than things that are actually 'computer friendly'. They do this because it makes them more money. Solving your problems means they put themselves out of business. The modern computer with office software on is somewhat akin to a hyperdrive engine used to tow an old farm trailer with your office on it around.
