I care to disagree, millions of people working from home and huge digital economy is there.

There is already a lot of real value in ubiquitous computing, automated warehouses, supply chain optimizations, digital entertainment, digital government services in many countries, I could go on for couple of pages now.

Recommendations and tracking are just a side effect. FB and Google ads are not whole "digital economy" on their own.

Is technology about, or only about optimizing value in supply chains?

I don't understand the question since I pointed out other areas as well like digital entertainment which has nothing to do with optimizing value in supply chains.

Maybe you thought about optimizing content delivery, but I was thinking about computer games, VR, music production, which are digital entertainment and have nothing to do with supply chain optimizations.
