The Productivity Paradox
Computers have completely created enormous productivity improvements.
The world is so so productive now!!
Cal Newport in the NewYorker wrote -- with no references --
During the past two decades or so—a period of rapid technology innovation, which produced laptops, smartphones, ubiquitous cloud computing, and Google—American productivity growth has suffered a sustained slowdown.
This is known as the "Solow Paradox" -- as Robert Solow (a Nobel Laureate and hence kind of a big deal) once said:
You can see the computer age everywhere but in the productivity statistics.
(The only image credit I have for this currently is "Ganked from Calkins on FB" I intend to do better, after I finish some of these robots)
