If you exclude making the Internet accessible to hundreds of millions of people, critical improvements in AI and robotics, and all the other stuff about which computer scientists write thousands of papers each year, then yes, nothing much has changed.

I did exclude those things. I said, nothing has really changed OUTSIDE of computing.

Actually you could make an argument for biology. Much has changed in the realm of genetics though so far it has had little impact on our daily lives.
