It will be an evening full of surprises. The idea for the “digital education” series, which has now begun, arises from a relaxed vacation round before the general election. With three female students at the table, two students, a start-up founder, all of them 20 years old and future performers. If an editor from technology and engine is there, the conversation quickly comes to speed limits and electric cars. Interestingly, the youth are closed to a speed limit, and they do not want to be dictated how they should move in the future. Intelligent technology and openness to technology lead them into the field as well as freedom and personal responsibility.

Contrary to expectations, the question about the most important point for the election and the government does not answer it with sustainability and abstinence from consumption. Respect for the environment and resource conservation have long been a matter of course. The point of most urgent progress is digital education. The fact that schools, vocational schools and universities are struggling with inadequate internet is untenable. The fact that teaching content cannot be conveyed digitally is a debacle. That in some exams written online, entire areas of responsibility are simply swallowed up by the invisible hand of electronics and no one knows why, untenable. Digital access to libraries must be ensured, they want fast and stable channels to trustworthy information.

They are thirsty for knowledge that they are so sorry for the hurdles that have become so visible and noticeable in the past two years in particular.

The conversation is an incentive for us.

Hopefully the federal government that is currently being formed will too.
