Umberto Eco - Biblioteca Lumii + Talk: Era Feudalismului Digital

After thousands of years, the digital era, through new communication practices induced by the trusts of the information and online communication industries, is fundamentally changing the production, consumption, collection, and archiving of knowledge. The rapid technological changes and the new way of interacting with information bring challenges related to the quality, sustainability, and use of information. While technology facilitates the collection and sharing of knowledge on a global scale, it generates constraints encoded into the system and creates a huge dependence on algorithms and digital platforms. At the same time, the digital archives is vulnerable, subject to migration driven by technological changes, but not valid for the long-term preservation of heritage knowledge.
