In this episode of the Redefining Society podcast, Marco Ciappelli converses with technology, blockchain, metaverse, and artificial intelligence expert, Roberto Capodieci. The key focus of the discussion is on the evolution of the internet, how our interactions with technology have changed over the years, and what the future may hold with advancements such as the metaverse and artificial intelligence.

The podcast begins with a nostalgic journey back to the early days of the internet, with mentions of dial-up modems, and explores how ease of access and use have turned the internet into a ubiquitous presence in our lives. Roberto reminisces about the uniqueness of the early digital era when the internet was largely decentralized, a stark contrast to the current, centralized control we see today, which consists of a few powerful corporations monopolizing digital spaces.

The conversation further expands to the topic of identity and its significance in our journey from the early internet days to our impending leap into the metaverse. With identity in the metaverse expected to be safeguarded by cryptographic guarantees, this reveals the importance of individuality and authenticity in the digital age, even as we interact across different platforms.

In reflecting upon the formative stages of the internet, Roberto also discuss how transformations in technology could overhaul education systems. He advocates for an emphasis on learning how to learn, given the abundance of information available today, as opposed to the traditional method of rote-learning.

The crux of the discussion orbits around the idea of how far we have come from the inception of the internet, dial-up modems, and early email, to the brink of an era where AI, blockchain, and the metaverse might become our new reality. This podcast episode offers a thoughtful reflection on our journey through the digital age and speculates how innovations could continue to redefine society.
