I believe that there is an aspect of the advent of the Internet and, in general, of a strongly connected and interconnected world, which has not been analyzed sufficiently in depth.
Beyond the intentions and desires of each of us, the internet in particular, and, more generally, the technological innovations of recent years (domotics in the first place), have created a society that is increasingly objectively a glass house.
There is no way to avoid it, not even totally disconnect, because you are still surrounded by connected people, cameras, sensors of all kinds, etc. etc.
The level of verification and control of what each of us does or says is already very high and will inevitably become more and more.
Basing one's career, one's fame, one's prestige, but also, simply, one's life and social relations on falsehood, cheating, here pro quo, etc. it is already very complex for those who have a certain social position, it will soon be impossible for anyone.
This tests personal and social relationships, the very structures of society.
Already it is possible to be located, take a fine with a photograph, be framed by a camera practically anywhere, etc. etc.
There are many and often indelible traces of what we do and say, online and otherwise.
Human memory becomes increasingly blurred and imprecise, but the collective memory, through the network, is more exact, infallible and indelible every day.
Certainly all this also puts a little fear, but, on closer inspection, it is the revenge of the honest, of the right people, of those who do not look for shortcuts or cunning, in short, the best of society, which, especially in Italy, up to now is he has always been relegated to the margins of a familistic, caciarona, unthinkable, unrealistic, shameless, unpunished society.
Many things, even at the level of personal relationships, will have to be reviewed if an acceptable level of cohabitation is to be maintained.
This aspect has been little probed and evaluated: applying the same parameters and the same criteria of the society in which we lived only twenty years ago to this new social paradigm is impossible and above all dangerous.
Inevitably the self-narration that each of us tends to make of himself by amplifying, if not actually inventing, his own merits and diminishing, if not erasing, his faults he will have to yield to the evidence.
Many, if not all, will have to reduce the image of themselves that they sell to others, but also to themselves.
Psychologically it is an epochal turning point, who is not provided with great real gifts or, possibly, in compensation, of a great self-esteem, risks "breaking" psychologically under a weight that is objectively too difficult to bear.
In particular, there is a layer of moralistic conventions that will be revised, being no longer sustainable when you live in a glass house, a fictitiously moralistic attitude and behaviors in antithesis with that flaunted but rarely followed attitude, I do not say literally, but at least in its general lines.
A serious collective effort, a shared rethinking to build together a new morality, new codes of conduct, a new society, seem to be of no interest to anyone, yet they are urgent and inescapable, if we want to govern the epochal change we are experiencing instead of being overwhelmed.
