Come definireste l'innovazione? Ed è possibile applicarla a ogni aspetto del quotidiano della modernità? Dalla tecnologia all'editoria, dai processi di democratizzazione all'antropologia, dall'eros all'ambiente, passando per il cinema, lo sport e il benessere. Luca Scarcella, da Los Angeles, ne parlerà ogni settimana con i protagonisti dell'innovazione che stanno cambiando il mondo.

Information architecture (IA) is far more challenging - and necessary - than ever. To guide you through this broad ecosystem, this popular guide - now in its fourth edition - provides essential concepts, methods, and techniques for digital design that have withstood the test of time. UX designers, product managers, developers, and anyone involved in digital design will learn how to create semantic structures that will help people engage with your message.

As AI and robotics eliminate jobs across the spectrum, governmental revenues will plummet while the debt increases dramatically. This crisis of limited resources on all levels - underfunded or nonexistent pensions, health problems, lack of savings, and job destruction without comparable job creation - will drive many into homelessness and produce a dramatic rise in violence as we fight over shrinking resources.

Dal cybercrime ai videogiochi, dalle ultime app ai protagonisti del mondo hi-tech. Bruno Ruffilli, Innovation Editor della Stampa, consulterà ogni settimana un esperto digitale per parlarci dei nuovi orizzonti tecnologici e rischiarare le zone in ombra della rete.

In this lecture, Professor Kahn will examine the state of health care and biomedical research in the US and around the globe, through the lens of ethics. The lecture will start with some historical context and examples from bioethics, and draw some parallels from the past for the current state of our public discussions on a range of controversial bioethics issues.

Cada vez que escuches a alguien decir "esto es el futuro" sobre algo relacionado con la tecnología, plantéate si realmente no está siendo ya el presente. El impacto de la tecnología ya está ocurriendo, ya está transformando industrias enteras, y sobre todo, vidas individuales. Desde el ganadero que tiene más tiempo para estar con su familia gracias a que ha reemplazado el cencerro de sus vacas por collares con GPS hasta personas invidentes que pueden trabajar como programadores, algo que hasta hace poco parecía una quimera.

Una experta en relaciones humano-máquina y un periodista recorren varios países para analizar, a través de experimentos y entrevistas, los dilemas de la Inteligencia Artificial. "Laife" es un podcast que trata sobre cómo es y cómo será nuestra vida con los robots. Es un proyecto multimedia que analiza las posibilidades de los robots y también los dilemas más inquietantes que tendrá que afrontar el ser humano en su convivencia con las máquinas.

Bienvenido a QualityLand, en un futuro no muy lejano. En QualityLand todo funciona bien: el trabajo, el ocio y las relaciones se optimizan mediante algoritmos. 

This audiobook, Tomorrow's Medicine, looks at some of the more fascinating areas where technology that could transform health is being developed, including cybernetics, regenerative medicine, nanotechnology, and genetically tailored treatments. Although many of these advances may not be ready to treat humans for many years, some of them may someday profoundly change - and extend - our lives. As exciting as the possibilities are to extend both the length and quality of life, immortality - or at least agelessness - may be forever out of our reach.

People use many kinds of computers. There are desktop computers, laptops, tablets, smartphones, and even some toys and cameras. Do you know what parts are similar in all computers? Or how these parts work together? Listen to this book to find out!

Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, a diverse group of teachers and students working together on academic computing systems conducted many of the activities we now recognize as personal and social computing. Joy Rankin draws on detailed records to explore how users exchanged messages, programmed music and poems, fostered communities, and developed computer games like The Oregon Trail. These unsung pioneers helped shape our digital world, just as much as the inventors, garage hobbyists, and eccentric billionaires of Palo Alto.

Stephen Fry traces the evolution of the mobile phone, from hefty executive bricks that required a separate briefcase to carry the battery, to the smartphones available today. There are more mobile phones in the world than there are people on the planet. Stephen Fry talks to the backroom boys who made it all possible, and here’s how the technology succeeded in ways that the geeks had not necessarily intended.

In this book, Hod Lipson and Melba Kurman offer listeners insight into the risks and benefits of driverless cars, and a lucid and engaging explanation of the enabling technology. Recent advances in software and robotics are toppling long-standing technological barriers that for decades have confined self-driving cars to the realm of fantasy. A new kind of artificial intelligence software called deep learning gives cars rapid and accurate visual perception. Human drivers can relax and take their eyes off the road.

Virtual reality is able to effectively blur the line between reality and illusion, pushing the limits of our imagination and granting us access to any experience imaginable. With well-crafted simulations, these experiences, which are so immersive that the brain believes they're real, are already widely available with a VR headset and will only become more accessible and commonplace. But how does this new medium affect its users, and does it have a future beyond fantasy and escapism? In Experience on Demand, Jeremy Bailenson draws on two decades spent researching the psychological effects of VR and other mass media to help listeners understand this powerful new tool.

This audiobook’s content and entertaining style will appeal equally to science-fiction enthusiasts and scholars, including cognitive and neuroscientists, as well as philosophers of mind. It is a refreshing romp through the science and science fiction of consciousness. 

The future of medicine is both amazing and terrifying. For the first time in human history, individual scientists and clinicians have the power to alter radically ways in which we live that were never before possible. This presentation explores some of the most exciting recent developments in medicine that promise to help us live longer, healthier, more fulfilling lives, ranging from novel reproductive technologies and cutting-edge immunotherapies to the harvesting of big data and the implementation of new systems of information exchange.

Longevity: the ambition of kings, super villains, and pretty much all of us who enjoy waking up each morning. It's also become a focus for biotechnology companies interested in making a big impact on healthcare. According to Professor Jill Helms, questions of this magnitude require moonshot thinking and some extreme team science. In this lecture, she will explain how her Stanford group is working to better understand why we age and translating that knowledge into strategies that slow this natural process.

In 24 thought-provoking lectures designed for nonscientists, this course explores today's exciting field of genomics, the study of the vast storehouse of information contained within chromosomes. Your professor is Princeton University biologist Lee M. Silver, an acclaimed teacher, scientist, and author of popular books on biotechnology, genetics, and their impact on society.   

Dr. Melanie Laidlaw is a scientist developing the first use of ICSI, short for intracytoplasmic sperm injection. Her collaborator, Dr. Felix Krankenthaler, turns out to have his own ideas about how to implement their new procedure. The wild card is Melanie's new lover, Menachem Dvir, a fellow scientist. This darkly comic ménage à trois plays out not only in bedrooms and labs, but also in test tubes and under the microscope. A Brave New World indeed!

¿Cuáles serán las grandes potencias del siglo XXI? ¿Cómo será el mundo del mañana? ¿Qué vivirán nuestros nietos? ¿El ser humano alcanzará la inmortalidad?
