Something that most likely will influence the development of Knowledge Management (KM) as well as Science and Technology in the (near) future is the concept of Consciousness as the attribute of Knowledge which is concerned with  2 (two) choices of paradigm.  The first paradigm is “The (smart)  Universe or  Nature Knowledge is the center of Consciousness”. The second is “ Human Being (mind brain) is the center of Consciousness” where Knowledge domain limited only within Data – Information – Knowledge – Wisdom (DIKW) continuum ( see URL  http://bit.ly/xiXqAf  - “Human Consciousness – Definition and relationship with Nature Knowledge”). Which one is your choice?
