SPEECH of H.H. AGA KHAN AT THE AKU CONVOCATION - 2006-12-02

Date: 
Saturday, 2006, December 2
Location: 

Karachi, Pakistan: Extract:'...All of these changes suggest that we are moving into a new epoch of history, a new condition of human life. Many observers describe this new world as the 'Knowledge Society' - contrasting it with the Industrial Societies or the Agricultural Societies of the past. In this new era, the predominant source of influence will stem from information, intelligence and insight rather than physical power or natural resources.'
