Emilio Cozzi: SPACE and TECHNOLOGY what did we NOT understand? | THE WAYS OF TECH • Techprincess

The technology we use every day is largely the result of investments made in space exploration over the past 50 years. Oh yes because without space, the Internet as we know it, TV as we know it, satellite navigation, would not exist at all. But there is no shortage of criticism every time and we could sum it all up with this statement: “if we invested all that money here on earth, we could most likely end world hunger”. Let’s say that it is a somewhat simplistic view of the situation… and it is precisely for this reason that, thanks to the wise words of Emilio Cozzitoday our new column THE LIFE OF TECH will try to explain why life on Earth is space based.

Let’s talk about space and technology with Emilio Cozzi

Talking about space is not easy, you need to know enough but above all you need to be broad-minded. Thanks to the help of the journalist and space popularizer Emilio Cozzi we will explain why we talk about space economy (because no, it’s not just money spent but it’s a real business), because the cameras of our smartphones are so small and because some diagnostic tests have been made possible thanks to space exploration.

Is all this not enough? Well, then I suggest you don’t miss our interview with Emilio Cozzi. You will not regret it.
