Computers find fruit for thought
By ROBERT MATTHEWS, The Telegraph, London
ECONOMISTS call it the Productivity Paradox: the fact that despite
spending a trillion dollars a year on information technology, productivity
growth in the Western industrial countries has plummeted by two- thirds
since the 1960s - from an annual increase of 4.5 per cent to a piffling 1.5
per cent. What is more, the big users of IT, such as the service industries,
have been suffering worst.
