ELI5: Why haven't we as a society moved away from 40-hour work weeks with the advent of technology?

We are more productive than ever, yet we still spend majority of our time on this planet working. Not only are we still following a 40 hour workweek, many individuals work much more than 40 hours to make the ends meet.

With the advent of technology what happened was that we reduced manpower rather than reduce work hour. If you hired more people, with the technology we have today, we could reduce the 40 hour work week but that would mean reduce pay for most people.
