One News Special The Knowledge Wave
Mike Hosking presents the One News Special: The Knowledge Wave. A heavyweight gathering got underway in Auckland today, catching the Knowledge Wave as hosted by the government and Auckland University. Thirty of the world's top movers and shakers were involved, so are more than four hundred invited guests. Organisers describe it as a call-to-arms. They want those who are willing and able to help this country become a knowledge economy. They say it would make us richer, lift our standard of living and stop the inexorable slide out of first-world status. Critics believe it's a massive gabfest full of buzzwords and short on specifics.
