This anthology contributes to creating awareness on how digital ageism operates in relation to the widely spread symbolic representations of old and young age around digital technologies, the (lack of) representation of diverse older individuals in the design, development, and marketing of digital technologies and in the actual algorithms and datasets that constitute them. It also shows how individuals and institutions deal with digital ageism in everyday life. In the past decades, digital technologies permeated most aspects of everyday life. With a focus on how age is represented and experienced in relation to digital technologies leading to digital ageism, digitalisation’s reinforcement ...

I bombardamenti hanno costretto a sfollare mezzo milione di milanesi, e molti senza tetto non sanno dove andare. Entro la cerchia dei Navigli, oltre i due terzi delle case sono distrutte o seriamente danneggiate. Ma il peggio deve ancora venire.
