Sinossi:
We have less than ten years from the date fixed by the United Nations to fulfill the goals of Agenda 2030. These years will see the fundamental role of digital technology, which will determine the possibility to win most of the challenges of environmental, economic, and social sustainability. To achieve this goal, Governments, factories, and human beings need to understand the role of the digital. They also need to understand how to use it. They will be called to make significant decisions concerning these vital topics and the new instruments that affect our lives. Stefano Epifani's book deals systematically, straightforwardly, and extensively exploring the points of contact between digital technologies and their impacts on sustainability. He underlines the opportunities and also the threats to our society. Is digital technology bad or good? Will Artificial Intelligence help create new jobs, or will it annihilate them? Do social network improve or impoverish human relationships? These are just a few popular questions about the digital, but they are actually wrong.
The most important questions to ask are how and how much technology will help enhance our lives and become a sustainability instrument. The book provides answers explained through five common peoples stories. Five stories used to perceive that we need to be the protagonists of the change brought about by technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, social media, big data, blockchain, virtual reality.
