Comments on: Computers in education http://www.tvhe.co.nz/2013/05/21/computers-in-education/ The Visible Hand in Economics Sun, 26 Jun 2022 16:18:24 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Gregor W http://www.tvhe.co.nz/2013/05/21/computers-in-education/#comment-40986 Mon, 27 May 2013 21:56:00 +0000 http://www.tvhe.co.nz/?p=8687#comment-40986 Worth pointing out that Solows quip was very much throwaway and not bases on any evidence.

Despite this it has been treated as an axiom since, though the premise has recently been fairly well debunked with much more detailed analysis performed of ICT capex contribution to productivity as a proportion of capital investment from 1998-2006 in the G7 (Jorgenson & Khuoung, 2010)

I could fix my typo but then this beautiful comment would make no sense.

Anyway I’m pretty sure it was 1987 that Solow made his comments, but to be fair that was some years before Windows was inflicted on the world and we had the cool tools we have today – what would be interesting is another look at the productivity of computers/smartphones etc given the stuff we can do now…

Apart from play Candy (fecking) Crush Saga that is!

Trust me, to write the quantity and quality that Solow does you need to have been writing for at least 926 years. I’m more surprised about the fact that he had foresight about modern computers in 1087.
