For 3 out of 4 Italians in the digital transformation of the country, opportunities prevail over risks. It is one of the key data of the research of the Fondazione Italia Digitale on the themes of digitization and the interaction between PA and citizens illustrated today, during the presentation event of the newly founded Foundation, by Livio Gigliuto, member of the Board of Directors of Fdi and director of the National Observatory on digital communication and vice president of Istituto Piepoli. The research also shows that as many as 74% of the over 55s believe the use of digital is an opportunity while just 13% of Italians over 55 consider it a risk. The research makes it clear that this segment of the population is actually well aligned with digital natives as well as 75% of the Italians interviewed between 18 and 34 years have made opportunities prevail while just 10% in this age group have put the risks ahead of the benefits. The research also highlights that 80% Italians trust the security of digital services, a peak that reaches 85% in the over 55s. In the ‘ranking’ among the digital channels most used by Italians to use public services to conquer the first place of the research are the websites and the apps that are chosen in 61% of the cases while the physical branches of the administrations are chosen in 25% of the cases. Furthermore, the analysis of the Fondazione Italia Digitale reveals that 55% of the Italians interviewed have activated the SPID and 24% have both the SPID and the Digital Identity Card. Finally, the research addressed the issue of smart working, noting that for 73% it is an opportunity to make people work better while only 21% consider it a risk.
