There is no counterfactual needed. Productivity growth has declined, despite the expectation that software would accelerate productivity. I'm asking you why this didn't happen.

There is a counterfactual needed because it is not clear whether the growth would not have declined even more without Software.

Again I'm asking - is there a single credible economist who says that the growth would have been higher without technology?
