If Ever There Was a Captive Audience
By Jane Harnadek
I’m standing in line with my badge and materials, and I’m waiting to get into Unit Five. There are two people ahead of me and I quietly ask myself, “What is taking them so long?” Finally, I am buzzed through the first door. I empty everything in my pockets as well as my materials into a try which is then put through an X-ray machine. Then it is my turn to walk through a metal detector. Next, I walk through a series of doors – one, two, then a third one, and then…a final clang. I am inside the walls of a prison.
Principles of a Knowledge Economy for Career Professionals
By Khaled Islaih
New technologies are changing the way we think, live and work. In the new world, growth opportunities are created by using knowledge and technology. A knowledge based economy refers to the capacity and the capability to create new ideas, thoughts, processes and products and translate these into economic value and wealth. The new economy is about abundance with creativity and brainpower as key resources. Accordingly, resources are unlimited and usually increase with sharing and application. In contrast, traditional economics is about scarcity and limited physical resources.1
