The development of miniature video and sound recording equipment means that DIY spying has never been easier. A quick internet search reveals an incredible world of cheaply and freely available spy technology. What does this tell us about "responsible" use of technology, and about the current state of (or the perceived need of) responsibility in innovation? - Leggi

La moda responsabile
Può la moda, fenomeno effimero per eccellenza, rappresentare una forma di agire economicamente responsabile? Ciò che indossiamo è in grado di segnalare, oltre ai gusti e alle inclinazioni personali, anche le idee e i valori di riferimento della propria vita? La Fondazione Bassetti, grazie al contributo teorico del Centro per lo studio della moda e della produzione culturale dell'Università Cattolica di Milano prosegue la sua riflessione sui temi dell'innovazione e della responsabilità applicati al mondo della moda e del Made in Italy. - Leggi

Promuovere la cultura innovativa
Il tema dell'innovazione sfida tutti e, proprio perché sfida tutti, sfida ciascuno a tenere il passo con l'andatura che viene imposta dal contesto. L'innovazione, realizzazione dell'improbabile, frutto dello sviluppo del sapere scientifico e del progresso tecnologico, ha cambiato e sta cambiando la nostra vita, e quindi il mondo. L'innovazione deve essere capace di mettere in connessione il globale con il locale: questa è la vera sfida della globalizzazione. Inoltre deve avvicinarsi a condizioni di sostenibilità. Per questo c'è bisogno di innovatori che siano coraggiosi, ma anche responsabili. - Leggi
