The Stark Difference between Skills-based and Knowledge Workers

I’m a big believer in attics. No, not in the spiritual sense of the word “belief;’ I don’t have faith in attics, but I like what attics represent: a place to store and save the accumulated bits of your life that you don’t need right now, but may again need at some point in the future.

So I have a folder of my back-up HDD called Attic – you may have a similar – Archive, or My Stuff, or Guilty Secrets, for all I know. I make a point of occasionally going in to my Attic directory to have a root around among what’s stored there and having a look through old folders and zip files with deliciously obscure names like toiltrouble.pdf, avalon.doc, or BladesDemo.exe that once meant something, and that I have now completely forgotten what they represent.

Opening one such document yesterday, I re-discovered a table that clearly illustrated the differences between the 20th Century and New Economies, and here it is.
