Metaverse – I have questions…
I saw these days when Mark Zuckerberg had his presentation of the Meta Quest Pro and again the Metaverse topic popped up again in all tech news blogs and sites. I have to say that this show was ….. well, interesting. It showed me once more that something is not right about this Metaverse thing. And as some Experts may be fascinated and hyped by this…I have my doubts. So let me explain what are my points and why I´m not hyped at all with this “bright future” of VR pushed by Meta. But let me share my points. The Device Ok, let´s have a look at the device that…

Why I blog and why should you do it too!
Follow my blog with Bloglovin I blog or should I say: I host my own blog? I don´t know. I started blogging more or less 20 years ago (during my time at the University of Applied Science). I started very small at blogger.com because I had no clue about CMS, it was free and it was kind of fancy to have a blog. I joined several blog communities to make people read what I had to say. I shared my ideas and my content with the world because in my point of view it was cool to do that. I actually can´t remember how many blogs I had in total, but in…

Why we should be less Social (media) to be more Social
Today a former colleague of mine celebrates her birthday. Facebook already informed me and of course, reminded me that I should leave a message on her wall. As always. The thing is: I don’t like those Facebook wall messages anymore. Some years ago, I was quite happy to count the number of people that wrote on my wall, until I recognized for myself that this was not really something that was driven by those people but more caused by permanent reminders by Facebook. So those wall messages dropped hugh in my value. I started to put more value in personal messages via WhatsApp, Twitter, SMS (totally old school) or even…

Why DSGVO is the wrong approach to protect the people
The 25th of May is coming closer and closer and companies getting hectic to prepare themselves for DSGVO to match the requirements. But is this the right approach? To make this clear, tracking people on the web in the way it is currently is not acceptable anymore. Facebook and Google get so much information about people that it’s too easy for them the profile, measure, and (sadly) manipulate them. So the European Union sets up always more and more regulations to prevent this. But the thing is: The intention may be good, but where there is light, there is always a shadow close by. Because the negative aspect of this…

Why blogging is good for you
Ever considered starting a blog? Yes, you should! Better start today, than tomorrow! Why? As someone who´s writing blogs for more than 11 years now, I can give you 5 reasons: 01. Blogging relaxes For me writing an article is something like relaxing therapy. I have to focus on something that I really like. No one tells me what I have to do. Blogging means for me creating content that is 100% my decision. It is this kind of freedom that I need in times when most of the things you have to do are based on decisions made by others. My blog is my kingdom. No one can tell…

Why Twitter is the better Facebook
As there is no day those days where there is no new bad news coming along about Facebook and it s crisis management about handling user data, we realize more and more how valuable our personal data is, and what an impact it can have, when such data get into the wrong hands. For people that are into this kind of social media material, this doesnt come by surprise. But for “normal” people this hits like a punch in their faces. And while even Mark Zuckerberg himself had to admit that it will take quite some time to fix things with more and more settings we need to get aware…
