"It has not paid off" Depends what the real objective was all along. If it were to control the flow of information, implement wide scale tracking, and further degrade the critical thinking skills of the working class, then I say it paid off handsomely.
I don't even think any of that was intended. It was just a massive handout to Apple, Google, and other tech companies and a diversion of resources from teaching/education to hardware and apps. Coincidently it also made us all dumber which was a nice bonus for the capitalists.
