Talk Beschreibung

Digitale Lösungen sind keine Lösungen, sondern Werkzeuge und von Werkzeugen wissen wir eigentlich, dass ein Hammer nur so gut sein kann wie sein Zimmermann. Doch statt den digitalen Möglichkeitsraum zu navigieren, entstehen in Technologie gegossene Luftschlösser. Und statt unsere digitalen Zimmerleute zur Nacharbeit zu rufen, wird daran gezweifelt, ob der digitale Hammer überhaupt ein Hammer ist.
