It is worth remembering, and in fact some of the major international operators of the variegated digital universe who took part in the event testified to it: the public of laymen, such as the writer, could realize that, like it or not , the two-year pandemic has turned into an incubator of developments that just before the pandemic seemed to be in the future.
Now the relationship between recipient, proponent and intermediary of digital interaction has instead passed a turning point. For example, between users and consumers, experts recall, the Non Fungible Token-NFT is on the way to overcoming new frontiers. If the web, the digital network, was the terminus of a path of objects and needs coming from the analog world, today it is the ability of software to interact autonomously, i.e. web 3.0, that has become a native tool for the concept of distributed product.
Put simply, digital activities have become a parallel reality to share rather than being a track to follow.
Let us console ourselves: if these concepts are already difficult to accept, it is the experts themselves who admit that even for them it is unpredictable to imagine their evolution.
Because within the metaverse, the parallel reality organized by artificial intelligence, it has not yet been possible to replicate our individuality.
And fortunately, it comes to be observed. The metaverse does not pose value, ethical, cultural problems: digital function and use coincide, in a perfect universe that emulates us without replicating us and dialogues with us yet without having assumed the aptitudes.
A few examples perhaps help to better understand the extent of these innovations.
The NFT that at the beginning of the pandemic we defined as the matrix, the identification code of a product, its digital label, has now evolved.
It has a life of its own: it continuously reflects, emulates and satisfies our needs and requirements of ownership, identification, reliability.
In short, now the NFT has become the equivalent of what was once the code Simple mail transfer protocol-SMTP, the operating protocol that at the dawn of digital communication has allowed every e-mail operator to reach the standard that, in an increased form, still allows the exchange of our e-mails today.
Hence, the NFT now becomes the hub, the shared starting point that allows, motivates, homologates and perfects the most disparate needs, identifies people who recognize themselves in the same community and who wish to access a market or service, who they share the same aspirations.
Does everything still seem too crypto to you? So let's explain with some concrete examples.
NFTs will replace the cards on which we attach loyalty point stamps.
Or they will replace the passwords, the access codes that we all understand must be safe and unique because they allow us to access our most confidential digital documents, or activate their functions, as for example happens with online banking services.
It is expected that NFTs will even be able to retire membership cards from a political party.
There is no need to be surprised.
These are just some of the clues of this century that has just begun and that are already silently shaping our future.
