Think the Internet Leads to Growth? Think Again
Remember the year 2000 in the months after the Y2K bug had been crushed,
when all appeared smooth sailing in the global economy? When the
miracle of finding information online was so novel that The Onion
ran an article, “Area Man Consults Internet Whenever Possible?” It was a
time of confident predictions of an ongoing economic and political
renaissance powered by information technology. Jack Welch—then the
lauded chief executive officer of General Electric (GE)—had
suggested the Internet was “the single most important event in the U.S.
economy since the Industrial Revolution.” The Group of Eight highly
industrialized nations—at that point still relevant—met in Okinawa in
2000 and declared, “IT is fast becoming a vital engine of growth for the
world economy. … Enormous opportunities are there to be seized by us
all.” In a 2000 report, then-President Bill Clinton’s Council of
Economic Advisers suggested (PDF),
“Many economists now posit that we are entering a new, digital economy
that could inaugurate an unprecedented period of sustainable, rapid
growth.”
