Quote

Meiner Meinung nach ist der Mensch in einem stetigen Wandel, auf einer immerwährenden Erfahrungsreise - die Einzigen, die dies nicht merken, sind Menschen, die Scheuklappen aufhaben und somit die Dinge nicht an ihnen vorbeirauschen sehen. Und so dreht sich das Rad immer weiter, die alte Generation hetzt gegen die neue, ohne zu verstehen, worum es eigentlich geht: Neue Techniken und neue kulturelle Prozesse bieten immer Chancen zur negativen und positiven Gestaltung unserer Gesellschaft.

In my opinion people are in a steady change, on an eternal trip of experience - the only ones who do not notice this, are people who wear blinkers and therefore do not see the things rushing past them. And thus the wheel turns on and on, the old generation scolding the new without understanding what it is, actually, about: New technologies and new cultural processes always offer chances to the negative and positive creation of our society.
