The document discusses the past and future of knowledge management (KM) based on a presentation by Richard King and Paul Maharg. It notes that KM professionals will need to facilitate learning on the job and drive innovation. New technologies like blogs and wikis will change how lawyers value and share knowledge in a more democratic way. The document also discusses how medieval practices like glossed manuscripts can inform the future of KM, with technologies allowing for more embodied and intuitive knowledge sharing like virtual worlds. It questions what this means for the nature of communication, knowledge archiving and retrieval, and authority in a digital domain.
