    Apart from the considerable waste of energy used by many companies, mostly from non-renewable fossil sources for the growing number of servers, the misinformation and fake news circulating on the net, naturally make this problem even worse, as we have seen, not only with COVID. These inevitably also lead to manipulated opinions in the political arena, the vast majority of precisely those conservatives who oppose a necessary change. The Internet is certainly a valuable source of information, but it requires an urgent screening, which begins with the education and conditioning of the users’ reasoning. Information on social networks should always be taken with caution. Social networks by their nature are networks of opinions, not of objective information.

    Aristotle already said ‘It is ignorance of not knowing how to differentiate between what needs to be demonstrated and what does not’
