Nel mondo che abitiamo oggi abbiamo l’opportunità di osservare da vicino e misurare il funzionamento della società attraverso i “big data”, le briciole digitali che le nostre attività quotidiane lasciano per effetto del nostro uso dei sistemi Ict. Briciole che registrano la nuda verità sui comportamenti individuali e collettivi con una precisione senza precedenti, in modo che le diverse dimensioni della nostra vita sociale trovano un’immagine riflessa nello specchio digitale: desideri, opinioni, stili di vita, movimenti, relazioni.
Desires, opinions, sentiments
