Explore the complex relationship between digitalization and social equality in this 46-minute German conference talk that critically examines whether digital transformation truly benefits everyone or creates new forms of inequality. Delve into the current state of digitalization mania affecting both private life and the economy, and understand why digital self-determination requires a minimum level of understanding for those seeking autonomous living. Learn about the connection between autonomy and responsibility, discovering how knowledge of consequences enables genuine responsibility for oneself, society, and future generations. Examine key definitions of digital sovereignty, digital literacy, and participation while identifying prerequisites for meaningful digital participation. Analyze both opportunities and risks associated with widespread digitalization, gaining insights into how to foster digital self-determination rather than perpetuating digital inequality in our increasingly connected world.
