\"\"<\/a>Which technologies have changed society for the better? And for the worst? Which is the technology you could not live without?<\/p>\n

On occasion of the \u201cNational Short Film Festival 2009 \u2013 It is a Small Step\u201d, Observa has given the possibility to vote for the technologies which have changed society and our life style most significantly.<\/p>\n

One hundred and sixty-five visitors, mostly belonging to the age group 20-29 (50%) and 30-44 (33%), have voted online during the days before the Festival. These are the results.<\/p>\n

For participants, the technology which has changed our life for the better<\/strong> is Internet<\/strong> (37% of votes), followed by the washing-machine (20%), the Computer (18%), the Car (13%), whilst Mobile Telephone (5%) and Television (3%) pick up limited votes. Among the technologies that have changed our life for the worst<\/strong> 28% of voters put Television<\/strong> at the first place, followed by the Mobile Telephone (24%) and Air Conditioner (20%). The car is suggested by the 10%, whereas in the last positions among the technologies with a negative impact, we find Internet (3%), Washing-Machine (1%) and Computer (1%).<\/p>\n

The technological object we could not possibly live without<\/strong> is the Computer<\/strong> (45%), followed by the Mobile (28%) and the Car (14%). Only l\u20191% says to cannot live without Television.<\/p>\n

The same voting has been proposed to high school students from Vicenza during the meeting \u201cInnovations and Dreams\u201d<\/em> held on October 31st 2009 with the participation by Tatti Sanguineti, Umberto Guidoni, Luca Taddio, Cristiano Seganfreddo and Giuseppe Pellegrini.<\/p>\n

The results are partially in tune with those from the online voting: for youngsters too Internet is confirmed as the technology that has improved our life most significantly (26,2%), followed by the Car (23,1%) and the Mobile Phone (20,8%). Even more clear-cut is the negative opinion towards Television: 45,4% of students think television has worsen our life.<\/p>\n

Finally, the object the young \u201cVicentini\u201d cannot give up anymore is the Mobile (52,3%), differently from the online voters who privileged the Computer.<\/p>\n
