Heise: Digitalisierungsgefälle in Deutschland

https://heise.de/-3740205

"Die Digitalisierung ist derzeit ein zentrales Thema in Deutschland. Sowohl Politik als auch Wirtschaft scheinen die Wichtigkeit erkannt zu haben. Nur bei der Umsetzung scheint es zu stocken – im Norden mehr als im Süden."

Das wäre dann aber ein Süd-Nord-Gefälle ... und nicht Nord-Süd wie von Peter Nonhoff bei Heise formuliert ;-)

Changes to Roaming in EU

New “Roam Like at Home” rule from June 15th 2017 (from European Commission)
Customers: roaming consumption will be deducted from your domestic volume
The networks must still pay the costs that arise from their customers connecting to foreign networks (easier to even it out for international service providers)
If a customer spends the majority of time abroad and consumes more abroad than at home over the 4 months, the operator can ask the customer to clarify the situation

ALDItalk

https://www.golem.de/news/aldi-talk-mehr-datenvolumen-bei-verkuerzter-laufzeit-1706-128344.html

Am 13.6. hat ALDItalk die EU-Roaming-Verordnung ohne nominelle Preiserhöhung aber mit mehr Datenvolumen (z. B. 1,25 GB statt 1 GB im Tarif Paket 300), umgesetzt.

Die Laufzeiten wurden von 30 auf 28 Tage ( "4 Wochen") verändert, was je nach Nutzungsverhalten eine geringe Preiserhöhung bedeuten kann.

Eine Laufzeitverkürzung um ca. 7% gegenüber dem erhöhten Datenvolumen (25% im Beispiel) erscheint aber durchaus akzeptabel.

FAZ: Befreit die Kinder vom Code-Wahn!

Bettina Weiguny setzt sich in einem Beitrag in der FAZ kritisch mit der digitalen Bildungsoffensive auseinander, indem sie diese auf Coding reduziert:

http://faz.net/aktuell/wirtschaft/wirtschaftspolitik/gegen-programmier-unterricht-in-der-grundschule-15055414.html

Was dazu wohl die Raspberry Pi Foundation sagt?

Wer die Begeisterung der Kinder - insbesondere der im Grundschulalter - auf einem Raspberry Pi Event einmal erlebt hat, wird sich dem Kommentar der FAZ wohl nicht anschliessen können.

Einen kleinen Eindruck kann man z. B. hier bekommen:
https://digitalization-lab.blogspot.de/2017/03/raspberry-pi-annual-birthday-party-in.html

Ob der Begriff Coding ideal ist, sei mal dahingestellt, die Fähigkeit aber, ein großes Problem in Teilprobleme zu zerlegen und damit letztlich zu lösen, ist eine bedeutende Fähigkeit. Und genau diese wird durch Coding vermittelt, logisches Denkvermögen trainiert und eine systematische Herangehensweise an Probleme geübt ... was mehr kann man sich von Schule wünschen?

Persönlich bevorzuge ich auch den Begriff Entwicklung statt Coding oder Programmierung, da dieser umfassender ist und nicht die Assoziation des reinen Umsetzens fremder Vorgaben mit sich führt, wie es Bettina Weiguny andeutet: "Programmieren ist ein Handwerkszeug für Spezialisten, um die Ideen anderer umzusetzen: Hoch lebe die Arbeitsteilung!" Klassenkampf 4.0?

The data centre was out of operations for two days... Only person happy about this was me - full pay for no work for these days ;-)

Heise: Die Mär vom rasenden Fortschritt

https://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/Die-Maer-vom-rasenden-Fortschritt-3728493.html

Wie Eva Wolfangel in einem Online-Beitrag zu einem entsprechenden Artikel in Technology Review

(ebenfalls Heise) feststellt, ist der technologische Fortschritt - dass Wort Digitalisierung vermeidet

sie - offenbar doch nicht so schnell und disruptiv, wie oftmals behauptet. "Der Fortschritt wird immer schneller, behaupten Medien, Vordenker oder Unternehmensberater immer wieder. Doch eine Analyse von Technology Review zeigt: Es stimmt nicht."

Diese Aussage wird dann anhand von Adoptionsraten von technischen Geräten in Privathaushalten, Unternehmen in Aktieindizes oder Gründungsraten von Start-ups belegt.

Diese Aspekte können aber wohl kaum als Messgrößen herangezogen werden. Sicherlich hat z. B. der Wandel von SMS zu Whatsapp keine grundlegende neue Art der technischen Kommunikation erzeugt, das Geschäftsmodell der Telekommunikationsanbieter aber grundlegend disruptiv verändert.

Insbesondere einen wesentlichen Aspekt vernachlässigt die Studie: die Disruption äussert sich insbesondere qualitativ und nicht nur quantitativ. Eine vernetzte, always-on-Gesellschaft wird insbesondere von neuen Applikationen, Geschäftsmodellen und Beziehungen geprägt, die auf dem Verbreitungsgrad einer Technik (insbsondere Smartphone) aufbauen, aber nicht nur von der quantitativen Menge bestimmt wird. Mit dem Smartphone als flexiblem, intelligenten Kommunikationsgerät ist die Plattform etabliert, auf der die neuen Geschäftsmodell aufbauen.

Dabei ist insbesondere der Wechsel von z. B. SMS zu Whatsapp durch die Installation der entsprechenden App möglich, es wird keine neue Hardware benötigt.

Sehr gut illustriert dies die disruptive, plötzliche Ablösung der SMS durch Messengerdienste seit dem Jahr 2013, wie es die Grafik aus dem Jahresbericht 2016 der Bundesnetzagentur zeigt:

Vgl. dazu auch http://digitalization-lab.blogspot.de/2017/05/jahresbericht-bundesnetzagentur-2016.html
