Are you seriously suggesting that the costs of healthcare provision and education are unaffected by computers?

I'd be surprised if there wasn't somewhere you can do an online degree in the application of IT for cost savings in healthcare.

So far, I don't think the computing revolution has significantly affected healthcare or educational productivity.

Until we start replacing teachers with Khan or similar products, productivity is capped at # of students=~30 x number of teachers. Same for medicine.
