Tras la conquista musulmana de la Península Ibérica, y ante el intento del Islam por conquistar Francia, El Imperio Caolingio intervino en el noreste de España a fines del siglo VIII, usando a su favor el apoyo de la población autóctona de las montañas, de mayoría cristiana, para hacer frente al peligro musulmán.

In an era of seemingly instant change, it's easy to think that today's revolutions - in communications, business, and many areas of daily life - are unprecedented.

Il movimento futurista è nato col famoso "Manifesto del futurismo" agli inizi del Novecento. Il manifesto fu scritto da Filippo Tommaso Marinetti con la promessa di un cambiamento totale della società, trasformazione che ne esaltasse il progresso e la velocità. I futuristi si sarebbero quindi espressi in maniera totale, dalle arti visive alla musica, organizzando serate futuriste e arrivando a influenzare il modo di vestire e di vivere, persino le abitudini alimentari di parte della popolazione.

Il futuro di una volta era migliore, oppure si guardava a esso con più ottimismo? Quali erano le condizioni di vita quando il futuro era più roseo?

Dobbiamo rallegrarci di vivere in un Paese pacifico e libero, dove lo Stato si dà carico del benessere dei cittadini e li assicura nei confronti di molti rischi, dove tutti possono fruire dei benefici del progresso tecnologico, che fa parte della ristretta schiera delle nazioni sviluppate?
