07.11.2018 │ Hamburg – The digital trends of the next 30 years
The increasing digitalization of our lives causes discomfort, if not fear, to many people. A well-founded positive view on the topic is opened by Prof. Dr. Hans-Christian Riekhof in his lecture: “The digital trends of the next 30 years: Why we should be less afraid of the digitalization of our lives”. He invites to this on Wednesday, 07. November 2018 the series of “Heinrich Grone Talks” in Hamburg.
The topic: Digitalization captures and permeates not only our working life, but also our private relationships as well as the entire society. This causes discomfort because the rate of change is very high, because digitalization is an abstract and complex phenomenon. Therefore, it is all the more important to recognize and see the underlying trends. What is familiar to us evokes fewer negative reactions. Prof. Riekhof shows which basic patterns of digitalization we will encounter in the coming decades and how we can find a way to give digitalization a meaningful framework.
Achim Albrecht, Chairman of the Board of the Grone-Schule Foundation: “Digitalization will change the world as rapidly as never before. It is no longer a phenomenon – even if we sometimes feel that way because a new level of change has been reached. Fear, however, is never a good advisor. It is better, as Prof. Riekhof will show, to deal with the structures and patterns. This perspective is still given too little space in my opinion. For this, Prof. Riekhof is a recognized expert with corresponding operational and scientific know-how.”
The lecture at the Grone Education Center begins at 6:00 p.m. Achim Albrecht and Prof. Hans-Christian Riekhof look forward to a lively dialogue with the participants afterwards. A snack will be served.
