Information technology builds tools to manipulate, organise, transmit, and store information in digital form. It amplifies brainpower in a way analogous to that in which the nineteenth century industrial revolution amplified muscle power. Rapid change by itself is not "revolutionary," at least not as we are using the term. Rapid economic and technological change is normal: it has been a standard part of the economic history of every era since the beginning of the industrial revolution. Productivity explosions happen regularly as invention and innovation remake particular "leading sectors" - like air transport in the 1960s, television in the 1950s, automobiles in the 1920s, organic chemicals in the 1890s, and so on back to the original invention of the steam engine to automate the pumping of water out of coal mines. Each of these innovations massively boosted productivity in its particular slice of the economy. Each had diffusion effects that changed economic processes in many other parts of the economy. Each set off its own "long boom". But information technology may well be different. (fragment of text)
