"A strong storm. A flooded cellar. An old book from my grandmother.
A dedication of love: July 1966.
Will today's technologies be able to return these emotions in 40 years?"
M. Fornara

"Technology can disrupt relationships between human beings and take control of them."
E. Soldani

"We are surrounded by advertising posters, in everyday life we ​​are pushed to buy more and more technological and faster mobile phones. As well as being part of our collective imagination, technology has also become part of the city's aesthetic."
F. Bravo

"Always and everywhere we are surrounded by technology. We feel mutilated without technology. This broadens our senses and now inevitably merges with our body."
I. Bellè

"Billions of neurons that make billions of synapses and exchange chemical-electrical information. A continuous dialogue to maintain life, to communicate with the outside world, to socialize. Connection, technology and information, inhibitory and excitatory, contribute to the formation of our thinking."
S. Rovelli

"What we show on social in the long period will affect who we are both online and offline. Our experience offers technologies and immense new powers."
M. E. Vecchio

"I regretted having deleted old photographs and typed or pen letters, the ones that spoke of us, the ones that didn't need to be shown to the world. We delete everything with a simple "move to trash", and we do not restore anything. A bit like the relationships of this technological present, where what is broken is not repaired, but is thrown away and bought a new model, younger and perhaps with a glossy tone. An era in which we communicate from one room to another by sending voice or video... We live in the images of other people, we create a character for fear of being ourselves, but, as Hugh Hefner said, “Life is too short to live someone else's dream."
N. Cilenti

"We live our lives inextricably linked to something technological, forgetting everything and everyone, and above all ourselves. The few emotions that remind us of being human alive are gradually becoming plastic."
P. Rossi

"You can gain credibility and fame quickly and virally, but an algorithm is enough to make you slide away."
P. Mischiatti

"We can interact with many people, travel to faraway places and have all the information we want at our fingertips. But what is happening around us? What happens in the world that is not virtual but real?"
I. Cipriani

"Asian countries are introducing the Travel Bubbles program. Tourists will be allowed to a single destination while they are constantly monitored through tracking apps. Is this what the future looks like?"
P. Lo Casto
