The aim of this paper is to showhow digital technologies are operating during this first phase of the spreadingof COVID-19. The study analyses and debates the current and potential role ofdigital technologies, focusing on their influence in the industrial and socialfields.

Even if different from esteemed scientific sources, this platformprovides a structure that suits our analysis. We searched how many timesdigital technologies are mentioned in articles regarding Coronavirus and, aftercollecting these articles, we collected page tags (comparable to "keywords" inscientific articles) and classified them (technology tags and non-technologytags), to create a graph showing the relation between them. This networkallowed us to acknowledge and picture how technologies are currently debated.This was the starting point to discuss the key implications for an imminentfuture, and question about the impact on industry, society and labour market.What are the opportunities or threats of using technologies of Industry 4.0?Which are the needs rising because of the pandemic and how can technologieshelp in their fulfillment?
