And as an economist, we can also look at that side of the story. These are people who are productive agents in the economy.

The world today needs to advance its production of food.

Japanese industry has made great advances since the war.

Lack of flexibility is an obstacle to one's progress.

Lack of flexibility is an obstacle to progress.

Just smart people moving bits. Different rules.

The student's progress is satisfactory.

That's the European average for new cars.

Day by day and month by month, Internet technology is growing. Actually, make that second by second and minute by minute.

I did some quick calculations.

Now, I want you to just look really close up onto what's happened there.

Japan achieved a remarkable development in industrial technology after the war.

And then I asked for verification.

His development...

That's progress.

And, interestingly, complexity is very highly evolved.

And that leads to a very powerful tool.

Oil has played an important part in the progress of Japanese industry.

I can't believe it.

People, service, profit.

No. Technology is not destiny.

Two paces... march!

What they've realized is that if they can identify the traits on productivity and drought tolerance, they can produce 320 percent as much cocoa on 40 percent of the land.

All of this is driving exponentially growing economic progress.

What happens?

But in any event, it's connectivity that leads to dependability.

So, no surprise, there's lots and lots of waste. What you want to do is improve productivity with which we use energy.

You can't get ahead if you don't work hard.

Technological innovation brought about the rapid progress of the information industry.

Powered by fossil fuel derived energy.

Sing to the farmers' rising yields

All right.

It's a good weird, though.

How progressive of him.

Infantry, advance.

How blind that cannot see serenity! A true friend of man almost the only friend of human progress.

I delivered identical twins.

It's giving them access to affordable credit.

In other words, every step here represents an order of magnitude in performance scale.

I've been programming computers since 1974 and I've been working on computer graphics since 1983.

AII the major advances.

That science and technology had advanced

And as the World Bank recently noted, women are stuck in a productivity trap.

Production improves by becoming more automatic.

There's really no dispute about progress, if we discount the cost of that.
