Some recent theorists, {{U}} (2) {{/U}}, have argued that our society has moved to a new stage of{{U}} (3) {{/U}}that they call "postindustrial" society. One important change in such a society is that the ownership of{{U}} (4) {{/U}}amounts of capital is no longer the only or even the most important{{U}} (5) {{/U}}of profits and influence; knowledge as well as{{U}} (6) {{/U}}capital brings profits and influence.

Something like a caste line is emerging centered around knowledge. Individuals who fall too far behind in the{{U}} (18) {{/U}}of knowledge at a young age will find it almost impossible to catch up later, no matter how hard they try. Illiteracy in theEnglish language has been a severe{{U}} (19) {{/U}}for many years in the United States, but we are also moving to the point when computer illiteracy will hinder many more people and{{U}} (20) {{/U}}them to a life of low-skill and low-paid labor. |
