Matrixivity

Productivity is usually measured as the outputs per unit of input.

Most commonly it is used to report how efficient we are at converting and then presumably consuming resources.

The internet confounds  productivity in one respect; in some cases outputs are created with very few inputs and virtually no resulting consumption of resources.

This, the Matrix, is both infinitely productive and not all productive.

What we need is a new measure of non-productivity … the efficiency of using the internet to keep people occupied so they don’t unnecessarily consume our limited resources.
