YOU ARE RIGHT NEW ERA BILL!!! Here is a technical addendum to my previous posting: The use of Taylor's formula in adjusting chained series may be creating statistical anomalies in the series and associated series because of last year's atypical patterns. Productivity essentially is highly effected by demand. It is higher with higher GDP growth and lower with lower GDP growth. Being able to maintain comparable product units in a technological feature and need changing environment for price comparisons in the PPI and CPI is at best difficult. It appears the impact of the dollar's decline on imports is delayed by the length of contract periods. The actual and rate of productivity gains from internal verses external efficiencies of organizations are effected by shifting work hours into other categories, expanded work scopes, outsourcing , shipping and investment costs of off shore production. That is, the movement of costs into other areas may be showing up as false unit productivity gains. Skeet

Bill, Here's a question for ya'. Let's see when the industrial revolution began. Then, let's set an objective date for when the "technological " revolution began. Now how long did it take that first "revolution" to begin to fizzle......since ,based on what I know about history, that(the period of the industrial revolution) was considered a new era; when the old valuations of most things were no longer valid (much like today). If we can figure out how long that era lasted, and why it continued to thrive for that amount of time, we may get a start on figuring this technological revolution will last and what will lead the way to it's demise. I wish I could pull up early 1900 charts of Ford (who also first mass-produced tractors), General Electric, or the first rail company . I wonder if they look similar to CSCO, MSFT, INTC, or AOL?
