    All that disrupts is good; all that stands in disruption’s way (such as, say, San Francisco taxi companies or metropolitan daily newspapers) deserves to perish.

    Most worrying of all, the burst of productivity growth that started in 1995 and is widely attributed to the use of new information technologies also seems to have ended in the early 2000s.

There's the problem. We can't have it both ways. There was a highwater mark around the dawn of the new millennium that went completely wasted. We have never recovered. The pessimist in me says we never will. So it goes.
