And here our post #400 which gives a little bit more about us ;-)
400th Blog Entry - A little retrospective from the authors
After
about nine months of blogging here and now having post # 400, we
thought it might be good to look back a little into the last years of
digitalization! And you can get to know the authors a bit.
Therefore we will ask, what was the most impressive / memorable / surprising aspect of digitalization in this time ...
Caro:
The
CEO of DEC once
said “There is no reason for any individual to have a computer in his
home”
back in 1977. Fair enough - who needs a computer if you have good WIFI, a
smart TV and a mobile phone with a decent sized screen?
For
me, the biggest change was not to have a computer at home - I cannot
compare the times with and without a computer in terms of making us
productive or being a tool for something. The first computer in my house
was just another toy - I really loved drawing in paint. I still do.
For
me, the bigger impact was having internet at home - even if that meant
gigantic costs and blocking the phone. That really impacted our
lifestyle: You had a place to look everything up and also can
communicate with so many different people everywhere. I think that is
one of the main reasons why I love this blog so much as well.
PS: Thank you Alex for the picture from one of our adventures!
Alex:
Most impressive for me is the ongoing success of the Raspberry Pi project
which leads the path into education in a digital world. An economic
success story, a great community, and lots of small and bigger projects
in digitalization, AI, robotics, etc are to mention here. And it has
recently been awarded as the most innovative consumer product since the iPhone, before Tesla S!
Beside
this, the fast pace of integration between the different aspects of
digitalization (like AI, IoT, Big Data, management, economics, etc) is
the outstanding aspect in my opinion.
