Network Dictionary — Knowledge Worker

1. Term coined by Peter Drucker in the 1960’s to describe the new class of work­ers who work on inform­a­tion about work. For example law­yers, com­puter programmers.

Readily iden­ti­fied by smooth, clean, soft hands and the abil­ity to take and make phone calls at any time of the day. Able to com­plain about the qual­ity of the chair that they sit on without noti­cing the clean, freely vent­il­ated office they are in with free cof­fee and clean toilets.

If you don’t under­stand that, then think of the guy out­side who is dig­ging those data cables into the ground in the middle of winter. Where is his cof­fee com­ing from ? And how does he feel­ing in the freez­ing weather ?
