As television began to overtake the political landscape in the 1960s, network broadcast companies, bolstered by powerful lobbying interests, dominated screens across the nation.

Internet delle cose, intelligenza artificiale, robotica, realtà virtuale: è il nostro mondo sempre più digitale e interconnesso.
