For a writer, being able to edit on screen instead of retyping all those pages over and over again is a great boon. And although it doesn't fall into the category of IT, electricity, and especially the electric light, was a hell of a leg-up from candles. The wordprocessor is ace.

So I think I'm going to concentrate on journal themes. @John - you mean IT hasn't streamlined your admin and left you more time for the important stuff? Me neither. I can remember a pre–PC age and it's hard to see how IT has actually improved things as a whole. We just use it to do everything now.
