Summary: Cautious against the view that new technologies have been job-destroying. Argues that it is important to take into account indirect effects on employment and pervasive economy-wide effects that are generated by a revolutionary new technology such as information and communication technology. Rejects the notion of skill bias of the new technology, and suggests that the increase in the knowledge base of economic production brought about by the new technology is the more important factor.
