There is nothing that doesn't use digital now, but it is difficult to see what is going on because none of this is visible in the statistics. We just don't collect the data in ways that would help us understand what is happening.

What I get from that article is that it's much harder to measure output/productivity of a digital service compared to physical goods, so productivity going down is more of an estimation instead of gathered data (?)
