If that were true our productivity would have increased...

  You know that article took: *We have this unprecedented 50x rise in manual work productivity between 1870 and 1970. Then, at the exact time you’d expect things to have another 50x boost because of the computer revolution, things start slowing down.* Then run away with it "manual work productivity" - my question was also "what are productive ends" which was not addressed. I call total BS on article and "productivity", because big scale construction might take more time and have higher cost but are we comparing the same things. Like bridges built 50 years ago are not the same built nowadays, processes are more complicated but we get better buildings with new materials and new ways of building.
