In my opinion, Knowledge Economy is a vague term, but I think knowledge is based on economy. In case of economy for people life. For example someone who has many knowledge, maybe they’re have high education or many experiences in their life, usually they have good economy (much money) than people who didn’t have many knowledge.
The basic of knowledge is language. We talk with other people used language. We learn something that we have to know about it with the language. For example, when we want to know about computer programming, we have to know about language program that computer can identify. Nowadays, the language is must have you can used, it is English. We cannot deny if English is become International language. When people wishing to improve their knowledge, their connection and their carrier, they have to understand about English. Its mean, good knowledge in English = good economy in your life?
Are all the people who used or born in English speaking country, whether economy have well in their life always?.
Hmm….not realy. I think its depends on of the people effort in their life and the fortune in their life. Many people in English speaking country are a poor people too. So, that’s mean we have to take action and have high effort to make our dream come true and have good economy in our life.
Some people say, knowledge is a prison and don’t know much is liberate. Because some people have many knowledge has feel afraid to do something and they just afraid to failed. But sometimes some people that don’t know much they more brave to try something. For example, Bill Gates he drop out from his University and decided to learn about computer and make some experiences and now it has been success. He isn’t much to know about computer before but he always learn again and again. And he never knows about in the future that he will become success person or not. And some people who has graduated from University sometimes afraid to begin to work or experiment because of thinks over and much plan, but not at all, its just some people.
What about your dreams? Become person with many knowledge and has brave heart to something in your life and have good economy in your life, or become person isn’t know much for anything? The choice was in you.

interesting article you've got here. but please be noted that knowledge itself does not always related to what economy "yada .. yada" explained.
knowledge rooted and diversed in many way in life, aspect and culture. maybe in my term it's much closer to what kind of economy prospect can be achieved from knowledge driven learning. The language acted as a medium in translating it into ideas.
