Are we a Knowledge Society or merely a Knowledge Economy? | Open Course in Education Fu... - 1 views

  • “Knowledge is now fast becoming the one factor of production, sidelining both capital and labor. It may be premature (and certainly would be presumptuous) to call ours a ‘knowledge society’— so far we only have a knowledge economy. But our society is surely ‘post-capitalist’” (Drucker in Neef, 1998).
    •  Lisa Durff
       
      Knowledge, or the ability to get it quickly, IS the economy of our society. The nomenclature is a bit skewed as it is not a knowledge society nor a knowledge economy but the use of knowledge that is paramount. So it is not possessing knowledge, as those in medieval Europe did, but the use of it.
  • Anyway, we are transitioning from a knowledge economy to a knowledge society where human capital is measured by ____________ ???
    •  Lisa Durff
       
      We are transitioning from a knowledge as something one owns to knowledge as something one finds kinda culture. Capital is measured by how fast one kind find what one needs.

  • Princeton has found that the iPad has a DHCP malfunction where the device has been leasing an IP address on the wireless network and failing to renew the lease at the prompted interval, thus creating network issues [http://www.net.princeton.edu/announcements/ipad-iphoneos32-stops-renewing-lease-keeps-using-IP-address.html - 4/19/2010]. These network issues will continue to appear as companies continue to release products at a pace that testing and network scalability will not be able to match.

      It figures there would be an issue. So much for being a "game-changer".

  • As a society, if we continue the pattern of increased integration of new tools afforded by the availability of the Internet, we should be prepared for outages and decreased network performance as the service scales in capability to meet this steadily increasing demand.

      Interesting perspective. I know all to well what happens when everyone (or so it seems) gets on the cable network in the neighborhood where I live. Once that school bus drops off kids in the afternoon, I have about 10 minutes to save my work. Then everything grinds to a halt. This is a problem that begs a creative solution...
  • It will be interesting to see how all of the challenges of privacy and paranoia are handled as more game-changing technologies are developed and deployed.

      Perhaps we lowly humans will develop some ethical behavior in the future.
