There is a book of philosophy called Ecclesiastes [1] from the Judeo-Christian writings. It's a reflection on the question 'What profits have a man for all his toil, in which he toils under the sun?' and some suggestions on how to find contentment with your life despite that. I think you'll find some camaraderie with the author based on your post. Written sometime between 450-200 BCE, it has nothing to do with computers, but a lot to do with your question.
