Brexit takes us back suddenly to the last century. In the Europe of walls and barriers that clash profoundly with that of the younger generation, which not coincidentally also in the United Kingdom had clearly opted for an open world. Hard to think of the digital youth, protagonists of a global world, open, without boundaries, follow the follies of Farage, Grillo or Salvini or Cameron sloth and many like him present, unfortunately, in most of the main parties in many European countries .
Brexit, and all that will ensue, will remind us always be wary of politicians who follow shortcuts to win elections; not realizing the incalculable damage that can make their own choices. David Cameron with the choice of the referendum on Brexit is the clearest proof. But also it applies to those who choose the shortcuts in our house. It applies to Salvini, for Grillo and constitutes also a warning to the Democratic Party some clever thinking to solve the country’s problems only favoring the belly. Politics at the end presents the bill and the one we are experiencing at this time is one of the ugliest pages that could be written in Europe.
Ironically, the best response to these sudden walls is the freshness and determination of digital youth that exceed and surpass these stupid cultural barriers with their idea of society demonstrated by the hundreds of proposals submitted in DigithON, the marathon digital ideas going on for a few days in Puglia. A meeting place between Inventor, analysts and investors are confronted openly over a remarkably open world technology and boundless. Guys who understand more and better populists that the digital economy has completely changed, revolutionizing the traditional value chain, as well as my generation and earlier had studied in university classrooms.
What we are experiencing is a real revolution and as such we have two choices: we can endure it or dominate it. For the first non-serving strategies: just recline sull’immobilismo and get carried away with the hope, or the illusion, that the tsunami can never come from us. However, there is another way, in my opinion, more just, rational, honest: to dominate the revolutions must first know them.
The biggest mistake we could make would be to reach out to the compartmentalized revolution: industry alone, the trade unionists as well, musicians and actors on the one hand and journalists on the other as if the rights d ‘riguardassero author only some talent and not others, and again doctors, teachers at various levels, traders. The issue, it is clear that it can not be only cultural but also political. In the sense of good policy. One that can not and should not be divided on the interest of the collective common wealth, but it can and must do so on the tools.
Dighiton these days in the South trying to be the compass for not getting lost in the exploration of these new worlds; a bridge that takes us from the present to the future without making us lose the way. We are facing an epochal revolution comparable to the invention of the wheel or paper. Certainly higher for economic impact to those which have then led to the industrial revolution. Energy steam, to the frame, from electricity to mechanization with the first computer.
With the wheel the world was put into motion, with the paper he knew what lay beyond the corner of their street. Now with the information superhighway the world it is moving every moment of our lives and knows everything about everyone. This is not a revolution? Of course I do. But as the wheel and the paper also the network must be dominated and to do that we need to know and understand.
When facing the journey to a mind that already knows the future must hold hands and understand that only our sweat, the sacrifice we impose on us every day in the study of the problems and the desire to solve even with other support, here is just that our daily effort can help us not to get crushed.
Steve Jobs taught us to be a bit ‘crazy and especially hungry. First, we must be serious and convinced that we are not talking about a matter far from our daily lives, but a spark of innovation that inevitably passes through and across our sentiment and the substance of our lives. The network solves problems, but in turn presents other problems. It helps in the resolution of many, though not all, the problems of life we were used to, but it poses problems related tax fairness, confidentiality, traceability, in short, to the core principles of our democratic societies, based on the blood of those who fought so that individual freedom was one day an inviolate and inviolable sanctuary, they have to defend, now and always and at all costs.
We’d also another mistake if we considered the autonomous machines. The algorithm will not save us, but we will save the men who know how to use the algorithm in the name and on behalf of the welfare of other men. The network is the beginning and basis of democracy because, thanks to its technology, so simple yet so sophisticated, establishes the fundamental principle of democracy, that is equal starting conditions for all. I dare say that before the web the emperor is naked, and we all are. Up to us to fill with content and knowledge on our way.
The dematerialisation of wealth requires a radically new approach and the ?? tax framework that governs the relationship between the old national states, companies and firms must necessarily adapt to new market rules. The hundreds of innovative ideas, ranging from the most different fields, presented by young talent to national and international investors during the marathon is demonstrating at this time because the political risks of crumpling increasingly on itself unless combines the social changes, epochal, with technological innovations and the inevitable necessity of defending the idea of an open, just and without barriers. From music to cinema, from finance to media. From electronic commerce to tourism, culture. From health to security, to games. A radical revolution in the process of customs, business and lifestyles. it was not possible to close the world when there was no network, and there were only walls and barbed wire. Let alone now. On the morning of June 24, view from DigithON, appeared so striking the momentous news of Brexit daughter of a finite political shorthand bad compared to these extraordinary Inventor telling us and represent a better world that cares about unnecessary walls.
