In generale la fantascienza classica non è riuscita ad anticipare i social media. Ma un autore c'è stato: J.G. Ballard. Lui c'è riuscito in pieno e ci ha preso di brutto.
Money quote: "Ballard was a brilliant futurist and his dystopian novels and short stories anticipated the 80s cyberpunk of William Gibson, exploring with a twisted sense of humor what Jean Lyotard famously dubbed in 1979 The Postmodern Condition: a state of ideological, scientific, personal, and social disintegration under the reign of a technocratic, hypercapitalist, “computerized society.” Ballard had his own term for it: “media landscape,” and his dark visions of the future often correspond to the virtual world we inhabit today."

Viviamo in una cultura in cui restare con le mani in mano è visto malissimo. Bisogna sempre darsi da fare. Anche quando non c'è niente da fare. Ecco un pensiero divergente sull'argomento: è più saggio non far niente.
Money quote: "Before advancing my own arguments for laziness, I must dispose of one which I cannot accept. Whenever a person who already has enough to live on proposes to engage in some everyday kind of job, such as school-teaching or typing, he or she is told that such conduct takes the bread out of other people’s mouths, and is, therefore, wicked. If this argument were valid, it would only be necessary for us all to be idle in order that we should all have our mouths full of bread. What people who say such things forget is that what a man earns he usually spends, and in spending he gives employment. As long as a man spends his income he puts just as much bread into people’s mouths in spending as he takes out of other people’s mouths in earning. The real villain, from this point of view, is the man who saves. If he merely puts his savings in a stocking, like the proverbial French peasant, it is obvious that they do not give employment. If he invests his savings the matter is less obvious, and different cases arise."

I migranti esistono, e non sono solo quelli che vengono dai paesi poveri. Il cambiamento climatico farà lo stesso anche nei posti sviluppati. Vedi ad esempio cosa sta succedendo negli Usa.
Money quote: "About 3.2 million Americans have moved due to the mounting risk of flooding, the First Street Foundation said in a report that focuses on so-called "climate abandonment areas," or locations where the local population fell between 2000 and 2020 because of risks linked to climate change.
Many of those areas are in parts of the country that also have seen a surge of migration during the past two decades, including Sun Belt states such as Florida and Texas. Such communities risk an economic downward spiral as population loss causes a decline in property values and local services, the group found."

La più grande trasformazione nel modo con il quale mangiamo non viene determinata dagli OGM o dalla scoperta dell'America (pomodori e patate) o da chissà quale altro cambiamento culturale. Il più grande cambiamento mai avvenuto nel mondo è dovuto a un solo, singolo progresso tecnologico: il congelamento.
Money quote: "Today, nearly three-quarters of everything Americans consume is processed, packaged, shipped, and stored under refrigeration. In the century since Chicago’s banquet, the so-called cold chain—the shipping containers, trucks, warehouses, ripening rooms, tank farms, walk-ins, and fridges through which food moves from farm to table—has transformed what we eat, where it’s grown, the layout of our cities and homes, and the very definition of freshness. But perhaps its most remarkable imprint can still be found in how our food actually tastes, for better and for worse."

Impariamo dei nuovi sengni di punteggiatura: la stupefacente storia dell'Interrobang.
Money quote: "Since 1959, Speckter had edited Type Talks, a magazine dedicated to typography in advertising. Out for dinner one night early in 1962, and with four pages still to fill in the next issue, he announced a plan to invent a new mark of punctuation—a mark to be publicised, of course, in Type Talks. He called the agency’s preferred art studio, asking “Is there anybody there who can draw?” The answer was yes, so the Speckters dashed to the studio and stayed for hours, thrashing out the appearance of the mark that would become the fabled exclamaquest. Or the interrobang, where “bang” was printer’s slang for an exclamation point. Speckter could not decide on a name."

The system will be designed to quietly and efficiently shift millions of tons of cargo while getting tens of thousands of trucks off the road. Japan's population collapse may mean it will have logistics issues by 2030 due to a lack of workers."

In futuro viaggeremo in maniera diversa: i controlli di sicurezza degli aeroporti diventeranno tutta un'altra cosa, molto più personali. Questo non è detto che sia un bene. Comunque, questo è l'anno del passaggio.
Money quote: "This year could be the “tipping point” for widespread biometrics use in air travel, said Henry Harteveldt, a travel industry analyst for Atmosphere Research. Time-consuming airport rituals like security screening, leaving your luggage at bag drop and even boarding a plane may soon only require your face, “helping to reduce waiting times and stress for travelers,” Mr. Harteveldt said.
In the United States, major airlines have increasingly invested in facial recognition technology as have government agencies in charge of aviation security. Overseas, a growing number of international airports are installing biometrics-enabled electronic gates and self-service kiosks at immigration and customs.
The technology’s adoption could mean enhanced security and faster processing for passengers, experts say. But it also raises concerns over privacy and ethics."

Abbiamo un problema con Internet, da tempo. Sta marcendo. Un articolo fondamentale del 2021 di Jonathan Zittrain.
Money quote: "This absence of central control, or even easy central monitoring, has long been celebrated as an instrument of grassroots democracy and freedom. It’s not trivial to censor a network as organic and decentralized as the internet. But more recently, these features have been understood to facilitate vectors for individual harassment and societal destabilization, with no easy gating points through which to remove or label malicious work not under the umbrellas of the major social-media platforms, or to quickly identify their sources. While both assessments have power to them, they each gloss over a key feature of the distributed web and internet: Their designs naturally create gaps of responsibility for maintaining valuable content that others rely on. Links work seamlessly until they don’t. And as tangible counterparts to online work fade, these gaps represent actual holes in humanity’s knowledge."
