Trieste, May 29th, 2014 – Print a spare part for your washing machine, at home, with the 3D printer. Jump on a car anywhere you want and leave it where you prefer. Usa an app to learn how to code, make bread or meditate. The world is changing and evolving in ways we have never experienced before. If there ever was one, the Era of Abundance is over. We need to do our best with the present resources, with the benefits provided by the digital world in order to challenge the scarcity of the Analog Age. Internet is where and how we can win this challenge.

Do discuss all this, we look forward for you to join us in Trieste for
