Would you please define "half-life knowledge" and its true meaning in our
Information Society. Have not been able to find a well thought out
narrative that fully explains what it is and what this means to college
students.

I assume metric that represents the economic half-life of knowledge could
be developed to reflect the rate at which competitors erode the short-term
monopoly rents which arise from innovation.
