Every day, we leave information about ourselves behind - through online or offline shopping, by driving with our GPS switched on, or observed by traffic cameras, we feed social media or use search engines or APPs.
Digital technology has revolutionized the world: our relationships, our work, information and entertainment and even the results of elections – everything seems to follow completely different rules.
People and institutions connect to these digital techniques. Armin Nassehi says, when something proves its worth, when something expands in time, then it has structural value. If digital technology penetrates all areas of society, it apparently solves some problem. For which problem is digital technology a solution?
Digital data make our world readable. They are useful for all kinds of planning, for marketing, logistics, health, demographic or environmental observation and even social planning. Digital data inform us about ourselves. They provide information to solve problems. Digital data make visible what was previously invisible.
Bui Van Nam Son will introduce the lecture. Armin Nassehi will join the discussion online from Munich.
