Description Readers' comments

The article intends to reflect on the relationship between the welfare state, the risk of social disaffiliation and technological acceleration at a time when social relations – an essential aspect of human life – have undergone a disintegration and remodeling due to both the pandemic crisis and the wedging into the social world of new technological paradigms. Specifically, after an introduction aimed at framing the general definitions of the concepts of social policies and welfare state, the authors propose reflections on the relationship between social well-being, the elderly and technology in a particularly critical moment, trying to bring out both the strengths of the technological acceleration process, and the limits of this model in a context of unpredictable social, relational and health disruption.
