context_page_description: The productivity-improving technologies are the technological innovations that have historically increased productivity.
  Productivity is often measured as the ratio of output to input in the production of goods and services. Productivity is increased by lowering the amount of labor, capital, energy or materials that go into producing any given amount of economic goods and services. Increases in productivity are largely responsible for the increase in per capita living standards.
