> the person who said that obviously never checked on book and magazine and newspaper typesetting

That's one of the "everywheres" the author of the statement was talking about, which is the point - you could see every part of the economy seemingly improved, but it did not show up at the macroeconomic measurement level.

It was until the 2000s that computers caused an uptick in measured productivity at the GDP level, though.
