Knowledge Society is a society where knowledge is the primary production resource instead of capital and labor. It creates, shares, and uses knowledge for the prosperity and well-being of its people.
A knowledge society is an innovative and life-long learning society, which possesses a community of scholars, researchers, engineers, technicians, research networks, and firms engaged in research and the production of high-technology goods and service provision.
It forms a national innovation-production system, which is integrated into international networks of knowledge production, diffusion, utilization, and protection. Its communication and information technology tools make vast amounts of human knowledge easily accessible. Knowledge is used to empower and enrich people culturally and materially, and to build an eco-friendly sustainable society.
