The digital revolution
Nonostante siamo nell’era della rivoluzione tecnologica, the population generally uses or knows how to use the IT tools available and this creates more expenditure of time spent in front of the devices (computer, smartphone, Iphone and more). There are countries that are more aware of grasping this potential? I really think so. Just to name a few, Sweden and Finland in Europe, United States of America, Israel, South Korea and Japan in Asia, Australia. Brazil and Estonia are now among the emerging countries. Estonia is the first country in the world to have free internet access, where you can use Wikipedia while you are walking in the middle of the forest. In the UK the same is feasible, but it is linked to the telephone operator and the flat geography of the perfidious Albion. How much we Italians invest? Where we are avant-garde? I want to start with Federico Faggin, who was the project manager of Intel 4004, the first microprocessor in the world to remember one of our excellence and we arrive today with our high-speed trains with high technological degree, obviously respecting the environment. We invest around 1% of GDP in research, Israel beyond the 4%. Without "serious" research there is no growth, if anything, the brain and capital flight. Where Italians prefer to spend on technology? Statistics show in the smartphone. As soon as you wake up the 50% of the Italians check the smartphone, but this does not save us from poor digital literacy (alcuni dati sostengono che prima del 2015 oltre il 30% Italians never connected to the internet). The man on the street and the ruling class are united in the "partial" use of digital technology in Italy, management often uses blogs and various social networks to communicate, but then it proves, mostly, poor literacy. In October 2014, during the conference of the Confindustria in Bagnoli there was a debate in an afternoon section about the IT backwardness in Italy at an infrastructural level and about the disadvantage that we suffer from the fierce foreign competition. Today the situation has improved in Italy like a leopard. Unfortunately, the university has yet to work to produce the future ruling class up to the times.. So that the "new" tool is a conquest for everyone and not an addiction (addiction), the company needs to intervene. The solution is more at your fingertips than you think, just see other countries. Widespread ignorance must be fought, even among adults, in the knowledge of these tools, so as not to remain "employees" and spend too many hours working for the computer and not with the computer.
Let's see what happens abroad starting with the United States , where some Italian engineers live. I start my journey from San Francisco's Caltrain station, direction San Josè. After the San Bruno station and other small villages a 55 Exact minutes from San Francisco the train stops at Menlo Park (Facebook headquarters), first country of Silicon Valley. Others 5 minutes and arrives in the small station of Palo Alto (headquarters of the HP), to end the trip to the end of Silicon Valley, with his 4 millions of inhabitants. I wonder how it was possible to transform from 1970 this rural area, the largest fruit producer in the world, in what it is today, or the 10th Gross Domestic Product worldwide. The valley of records is alone 100 km2. It extends for approx 50 km long e 20 km wide, the distance that runs from the airport of
Fiumicino to Civitavecchia (Km. 50) and from Fiumicino airport to Ladispoli (Km.20). "Knowledge is power" from Bacon onwards: “Only we know how much” , that is, we possess as much as we know. The concentrate of computer intelligence resides here. Their extraordinary organization and the lack of any form of ostentation, they are the only things that appear to the visitor. Careful.
We don't live only in Silicon Valley. Changing destination, we visit Korea. In 1997 in South Korea there was the worst Asian economic crisis. Today Korea with its 50 millions of inhabitants are at the forefront of digital literacy, as equally Japan and Australia "Down Under". Staying on the bottom 15 years the innovation in the digital field has been incessant, Less felt for us is probably the unusually advanced digital defense in the countries of the former USSR .
What seemed to be the safest solution, or the cloud , today it is little used by the private user, often for safety reasons and sometimes used only for commercial purposes. Cyber security is the starting point for us, to disclose the use of these devices avoiding that unpleasant surprises attack us unexpectedly. The protection of health is the glue to avoid addictions or to be addicted to Pc.
