If someone thinks about a train, he thinks it would be in late.
Unfortunately, the railway lines in Italy are no exception from this point of view, who among you will have happened to take a train in Italy and be late for unknown reasons? And who of you will have happened to request a refund of the ticket for the delay, but have given up on it due to the enormous bureaucracy and the difficulty of the compensation process? I honestly think of everyone!
The minutes of delay are indicated on the light board in the railway, but we often do not know the real reasons behind the delay. And if it was the driver who caused the delay of our train, why did you see fit to chat those extra ten minutes with an acquaintance at the departure station? Who is responsible for this delay? Trenitalia would never know, but even the citizen waiting for the train to go to work would never know the truth about that delay.
But come to think of it, there is no solution to this conundrum. The driver will continue to chat with his acquaintance every morning, always taking a minute longer than the day before, the citizen will continue to arrive late at work, and Trenitalia will never know the truth about those constant delays. Unless Trenitalia will start using Blockchain technology.
With Blockchain technology, it could control and track all the operations related to the specific trip, so it could intervene by punishing the real culprit of the delay, who in turn would be incentivized to avoid distractions or acts of bad faith because he would have the certainty of being punished. citizen who bought his ticket on Blockchain would have automatic certainty through a Smart Contract of the reimbursement of train delay without lifting a finger.
It is true, to read these examples they seem worlds far away, too good to be true, but the same feeling our ancestors experienced when they saw the first combustion car, too fast to be true, some of us have. proven when the Internet was invented, too incredible to be true, so it's absolutely normal and I honestly understand you.
Innovation continues and will continue to run, and only those who are able to open the door in time will find themselves with a lasting competitive advantage. The rest are ancestors, the new ancestors of 2021.
