The next society will be a knowledge society. Knowledge will be its key resource. Its three main features will be：

Borderlessness， because knowledge travels even more effortlessly than money.

Upward mobility （上進(jìn)心）， available to everyone getting from education easily.

The possibility for failure as well as success. Anyone can get the “means of production”， but not every one can win.

Together， those three features will make the knowledge society a highly competitive one. Information technology， though only one of many new features of the next society， has already had one hugely important effect. It is allowing knowledge to be widely known near immediately， and makes it accessible to everyone. Given the relax and speed at which information travels， every organization in the knowledge society has to be globally competitive， even though most organizations will continue to be local in their activities and in their markets. This is because the Internet will keep customers everywhere told on what is available anywhere in the world and at what price.

This new knowledge economy will rely heavily on knowledge workers： doctors， lawyers， teachers and chemical engineers. But the most striking growth will be in “knowledge technologists”. These people are as much manual workers as they are knowledge workers. In fact， they usually spend far more time working with their brains. But their manual work is according to a great amount of knowledge which can be received only through formal education. They see themselves as professionals.
