And of course we can (theoretically) all carry our "knowledge" around on jump drives or flash memory, taking it with us where we go ... plug n' play at the next job.

Seriously though ... two things:

1) it would be one hell of a lot of administrative work, I think, to be chasing around many many many former employess and trying to salt down whose knowledge is whose ... plus the explicit acknowledgment that all the "knowledge" one constructs while in the employ of a corporation ... looks and smells almost like slavery for me ... I don't want anyone controlling my thoughts, or even occupying my head ... or claiming that they can, legally.

2) if such a practice became widespread, I don't think I'd much like the accompanying aspects of society that would have moved to similar positions in other realms ... and i also imagine that an awful lot of bright. creative, energetic, engaged people would seriously balk at entering such a relationship. After all, in a knowledge-based era, the knowledge workers own the means of production ... brain nd motivation "strikes" would be the next big thing ;-)
