A knowledge society refers to a society in which the creation, dissemination, and use of knowledge play a central role in economic, political, and cultural life. It is characterized by an increased reliance on information and communication technologies and the ability of individuals to access, process, and use the information to improve their lives.

In an evolutionary view, it can be seen as the successor of a
previous phase, the “information society” (IS), which in turn
followed the “industrial society”. IS was so called because of the

and not mere information, is the most valuable asset. It is what is in the head

the physical world, as print, or human exchanges (explicit knowledge).
It is what drives the economy in the new millennium. Learn more in: Ambient Intelligence
