The HN title is

"The digital revolution has yet to fulfil its promise of productivity and jobs",

but the economist title seems more realistic:

"The digital revolution has yet to fulfil its promise of higher productivity and better jobs".

The problem seems to be that we haven't figured out what to do with people that are no longer relevant once their jobs are automated (e.g. factory workers). That sort of thing is only going to accelerate - take a look at this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Pq-S557XQU (Humans Need Not Apply)




I guess that is a case of the 80 character HN limit making it a little difficult to write a useful but accurate title.


I'd get rid of "its" and "and" before getting rid of better


Good idea. Thanks. Edit: come to think of it, we can just get rid of "the".
