Now, within the U.S. economy, the sector with the most dramatic acceleration in productivity has been manufacturing...  One snack maker, Procter & Gamble, even used a supercomputer to study the aerodynamics of its potato chips - Pringles Potato Chips. It found that, as they were manufacturing potato chips - why would they use a supercomputer for that?   Well, as they were manufacturing these potato chips, they found that too many of them were just flying off the assembly line. So, they used the supercomputer to study the aerodynamics to figure out how to keep them on the assembly line and be more efficient in the production of Pringles.
