I recently heard Michael Scott-Morton give a talk in which he
asserted that U. S. knowledge worker productivity has not been increased
by all of our personal computers.  I was also told that there
was a fairly recent Fortune Magazine article making the same point.

1. Can anyone provide references to research on this question?

2. If this is true, would you care to speculate on why?
