According to Wikipedia:

> The knowledge economy is the use of knowledge (savoir, savoir-faire, savoir-être) to generate tangible and intangible values[1]. Technology, and in particular, knowledge technology, helps to incorporate part of human knowledge into machines[2]. This knowledge can be used by decision support systems in various fields to generate economic value. Knowledge economy is also possible without technology.[3]

In human, it’s essentially non-clerical office work.
Is it just me or is that pure jibberish?
What is programming other than a way of embedding human knowledge into machines in order to generate value?
I think it probably comes across that way because the term hasn't found strong footing yet.
Nah, I'd say it's at most 30% gibberish. Definitely pretty abstract, though.
