I believe that in this historic moment of great change, the dissemination of knowledge about emerging technologies and their possible impact on humanity, companies, and socio-economic-political societies must take on a kind of “social mission”. To prepare for the future that is coming, it is necessary to understand the “tools” that are transforming today, in our way of communicating, working, living.
