OK, we are “living” more and more in the cyberspace, as an example the printing of photos has decreased, it has dived if compared with the number of photos taken, and we are using photos in digital format. Books are another example. For one, I forgot when it was the …

Some twenty years ago at the Future Centre of Telecom Italia in Venice we were busy developing future scenarios powered by advanced telecommunications and more generally by advanced technology. One of the scenario was about a little kid that used to play with his grandpa through a big screen hung …

Our world is becoming more and more a melange of bits and atoms. The boundaries between cyberspace and physical space are blurred to the point that we no longer perceive a difference between the two and we are living into a Digital Reality. More than that.The pervasiveness of bits (and …

Smart, smart home Using smart materials it will be possible to build walls that change their characteristics, like become more or less insulating depending on the inside-outside temperature and the one we feel comfortable, thus decreasing the use of heating/cooling. They can also change their surface reflectivity, again to improve …

New Realities As technology progresses the world of bits and the world of atoms fade into a single reality. However, this reality will be dependent on the mediation devices that will be used, both hardware and software devices. The rooting of reality into the devices used to capture it is …
