Digitalisierung mit der Brechstange - Digitale Ausgrenzung in Deutschland

Explore a thought-provoking conference talk from the 38th Chaos Communication Congress that examines the challenges of forced digitalization in Germany, where 5% of the population aged 16-74 remains offline. Learn about the societal impact of digital-only public services on vulnerable populations, including elderly, poor, female, disabled, and non-academic individuals who lack access to devices, internet connectivity, or necessary support. Understand how even tech-savvy individuals can struggle with digital solutions when infrastructure fails, and examine how government initiatives like online-only benefits applications may further marginalize already disadvantaged groups. Discover real-world examples of digital-only services, their implementation challenges, and potential solutions for creating a more inclusive digital transformation that simplifies life rather than deepening social divides. Speaker Anne Roth critically analyzes the current approach to digitalization and discusses necessary changes to ensure no one is left behind in Germany's digital transition.
