Knowledge Economy

I do believe that we operate in a knowledge economy. Knowledge and Information go hand in hand. As a CIS major, this concept hits pretty close to home. You can gather infomation but with no knowledge, you have no idea of what to do with the information gathered. Knowledge brings people together to operate. Although it takes time fo people to gain insight on certain perspectives, it is a fact that people work best when placed in certain situations when they have to use their heads rather than their hands. Communications also plays a vital role in a knowledge economy because it helps knowledge pass between individuals. Ideas are valued more and more as we progress into this knowledge economy.
