>So, before you dismiss the productivity metrics or new technologies,
realize
>that just because you can't measure it - doesn't mean it isn't there.

effectively. If the new economy is not measurable, then it could just as
well cause us trouble as bring us benefit. A flip of the coin is not good
odds in this context.
