most productivity benefits are in Asia, with jobs
when talk in US peaks on productivity nonsense, stock crash follows
just like 1999 with that fool Greenspasm
he didnt understand technology one bit
he doesnt even use email
fully 1.5% of productivity is from hedonic nonsense
infotech speed gains
you know?
that which enables you to sit and wait at your PC for an extra several seconds,
when your PC is done with that requested task, as you ponder the next step
and think, DAMN that was quick but what next? this PC is ahead of me?
I must be the gating factor, the logjam in the mental game
the knowledge engineering apparatus has a wooden shoe stuck in it
and I am it, if not, then I am the slow gear
the USGovt figures you are doing extra work since the PC is faster
no way!
you daydream more and stare blankly at the screen more
the USFed has giant blind spots
technology and productivity are two of them
other other rub for tech is it displaces workers
if Asia doesnt take (or be given) the jobs, them machines here do
I called to approve an updated credit card last week
the simple process was handled by a lady in India
nice lady, excellent English
in fact, better English than what I hear by American ignoramuses
you know? like, I was just like, you know? if I would've went...
we was the bomb, dude
like, I was so not into that...
like, you know?
no'm'sayn' ?
