  36. Final food for thought • Analysing the relation between new technologies and content fruition, two opposite dynamics emerge: • The first one, positive, in which technology serves as a stimulus/opportunity, thanks to the unlimited access to information and content • The second one, negative, in which traditional contents are substituted by others with less added value (throwaway content) • In the absence of a real project management for the whole System (schools, enterprises, politics, etc.), the second dynamic will be prevailing, especially for the new generations • This trend has an evident but not irreversible impact on purchases  the use of new technologies by the eclectics generates a virtuous relation for the content market: • Internet can be an unfair competitor (p2p) • But also a channel and a drive for purchases • The new technological platforms, in general, tend to activate new means of content fruition • There are weak signs showing emerging opportunities for the market
