What "pretty decent" physical resources does making software consume? (Beyond energy, which is renewable.) The internet and other tech doesn't create new wealth? Why has the size of the economy grown exponentially since the industrial revolution? If wealth were fixed, as population in increased we'd be getting vastly poorer worldwide (1.6 billion in 1900 -> 7 billion people today). Have we gotten 5x poorer on average? (These facts are easily googleable.)
