According to the management "guru" Peter Drucker in his book "The Next Society":
"The next society will be a knowledge society. Knowledge will be its key resource, and knowledge workers will be the dominant group in its workforce. Its three main characteristics will be:
* Borderless, because knowledge travels even more effortlessly than money.
* Upward mobility, available to everyone through easily acquired formal education.
* The potential for failure as well as success. Anyone can acquire the "means of production", i.e., the knowledge required for the job, but not everyone can win.
Information technology, although one of many new features of the next society, is already having one hugely important effect: it is allowing knowledge to spread near-instantly, and making it accessible to everyone."
