“La nozione centrale di "viaggio" potrebbe trasformarsi in modi che possiamo solo intravedere oggi.
Pensa a come è cambiata negli anni la connotazione della parola “amico”. Fino al 2004, un amico era una persona fisica con cui uscivi nella vita reale. Dopo Facebook, il termine è diventato anche sinonimo di “connessione virtuale”, qualcuno con cui potresti non aver mai scambiato una singola parola.
Quindi chissà cosa significherà viaggiare tra 10-15 anni. Possiamo solo speculare, ma, almeno in teoria, le applicazioni del metaverso sono illimitate: vuoi visitare Atlantide, l’Antica Roma o Marte? Puoi viaggiare nel tempo e nello spazio e sperimentare qualcosa che non esiste nel mondo fisico.
Il travel ha un impatto catastrofico sull'ambiente. Il nostro settore, se continua così, farà alzare la temperatura di un grado e mezzo nel giro di 25 anni. Non lo dico io, ma i dati. Solo le emissioni di carbonio causate del volo civile sono cresciute del 75% dagli anni '90.
Trovare alternative praticabili a un settore talmente dannoso per l'ambiente come il nostro non è solo auspicabile.
È, a questo punto, obbligatorio.”

“One of the curiosities of the early twenty-first century is the way so much power over social relations came into the hands of young men with more interest in numbers than in people.”
