Si tratta di un'intervista audio/video sull'Intelligenza Artificiale. Ve la scrivo come la dice l'intervistato (di lingua madre tedesca).
"Twenty years ago, when there was the first internet hype, a lot of people thought GRAVITY doesn't apply to the internet anymore. Just in 2001 for everyone to discover that the bubble burst and everybody got back to reality. In 2001 everybody in Switzerland was still using a telephon book to look for telephon numbers..."
Non capisco proprio come tradurre "gravity".

leggi del mercato
Credo voglia dire che prima della famosa bolla delle dot-com di fine anni 2000 tutti pensavano che la crescita di internet e delle aziende operanti in tale settore fosse illimitata, ossia non soggetta alle dure leggi del mercato. Convinzione smentita dalla grande crisi in questione che ha spazzato via moltissime aziende.

Fantastico Luca, penso si tratti proprio di questo! Wow, I'm really happy now :-) Buona giornata! |

austerità / recessione (economica)
Visto che mi parli del discorso di un madrelingua tedesco, posso ipotizzare una traduzione errata di un termine che può avere questo significato, anche considerando il contesto della frase.

legge di gravita'
io la intendo cosi'
Is the Internet above the Law of Gravity?
"One of the clearest and most robust findings in economics is that international trade is subjected to gravity."
See Pg 3
The literature on empirically identifying the trade cost behind gravity issmall.1Rauch (1996, 1999) estimates the gravity effect for homogeneous anddifferentiated products separately, in an attempt to link gravity to searchcosts, and find that indeed search costs account for part of it.
1See Harrigan (2001) for a survey.2
[...] Transportation costs and search costs are two of the most commonlyasserted reasons for distance to matter in gravity models.
[..] Therefore, our result thatdistance still matters for free digital goods suggests that there are likely otherreasons for gravity also matter.
[..] The usual reasons given for gravity suggest that distanceshould not matter; however, we include it to see if the usual reasons arecomplete explanations for gravity
[...] Table 3 show parameter estimates of equation 1 for the sample of allwebsite categories. In the first and second columns the number of internetusers in the country is used as a proxy for the number of websites in thecountry. As expected this variable is positive and significant capturing the“mass” effect of gravity.
Does the internet defy the law of gravity?
Abstract
We show that gravity holds in the case of digital goods consumed over the Internet that have no trading costs. Therefore trade costs cannot fully account for the effects of distance on trade. In particular, we show that Americans are more likely to visit websites from nearby countries, even controlling for language, income, immigrant stock, etc. Furthermore, we show that this effect only holds for taste-dependent digital products, such as music, games, and pornography. For these, a 1% increase in physical distance reduces website visits by 3.25%. For non-taste-dependent products, such as software, distance has no statistical effect.

6 Conclusions
We have shown that the gravity model holds, even in an environment wheretransportation costs should be zero and trust barriers should not matter.This result is robust to many different specifications. The Internet does notappear to have brought about the death of distance, even for free digitalgoods on the web.11

Ciao fbbbest, hai perfettamente ragione, ma in riferimento alla "booble burst" preferisco utilizzare la soluzione di Luca. In italiano non riesco a trovare nessun testo che parli di legge di gravità connessa a internet! Grazie comunque per tutti i link che mi hai mandato! |
