I’m not really sure if I understand this correctly. A student started with a completely simple action. She set herself in front of the Swedish parliament and went on strike. She was advocating for something. Many of us acknowledged that more and more young people were following her example – but the media discussions were […]
I am sitting in the Lufthansa Senator Lounge at the Frankfurt Airport. I checked in with the Lufthansa App on my iPhone, booked and paid for the taxi to the airport with mytaxi, and am tipping these lines into my iPad. My day is completely digital. Surrounded by screens, I spend a lot of time […]
