The argument can be made that the "40 hour work week" (who does that anyways) is becoming obsolete pretty rapidly.

So many jobs with people putting their butts in seats at offices that really don't need to be there, less hours to get the job done, telecommuting, automation, etc.

This has been said for 80+ years yet we continue to work 40 hour weeks (in most cases we work more than that). I don't think the 40 hour work week is going away anytime soon unfortunately. Many companies want your arse in your seat whether you really need to be or not.
