hj, interesting article. notice the acceleration in productivity since 1995. guess what? the productivity calculation for computers changed in 1996. coinkidink? not likely ;-)

siliconinvestor.com

>>A study by McKinsey & Company, a consulting firm, found that the gains in productivity were powered by just six of 59 economic sectors -- retail, wholesale trade, securities, telecommunications, semiconductors and computer manufacturing -- while the other 53 sectors contributed just a small fraction to productivity gains.<<

btw, the "adjustment" (read, rigged figures! -ng-) in semis and computers double productivity growth in the late 90s....
