Even more have already given up and submitted to the endless data collection and analysis by corporations and the state. <\/p>\n<p>Especially those who hold the naive view<em><strong> &#8220;I have nothing to hide&#8221;<\/strong><\/em> will, at the latest, fall from their high horse of indifference when it affects them digitally at the <em><strong>&#8220;collar&#8221;<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Anyone who, like me, also looks at digitalisation behind the scenes is well aware of what is happening here right now.<\/p>\n<p>It is not about making our lives easier. It is also not about creating new services. In the end, the saying applies here too: <em><strong>&#8220;follow the money&#8221;<\/strong><\/em>. Because it is solely and exclusively about making money through control and surveillance.   <\/p>\n<p>As someone who recently dared to take the step into a motorhome on a campsite, in the middle of the forest in the Palatinate, I am searching more intensely for the meaning behind it all.<\/p>\n<p>And yes, a lot makes sense, but unfortunately not <em><strong>&#8220;in the interest&#8221;<\/strong> <\/em>of people, but only in the interest of corporations and the state.<\/p>\n<p>A critical person, as I am, never stops questioning. They do not believe anything at first and then do not allow themselves to be persuaded, but form their own opinion. <\/p>\n<p>Yes, that is time-consuming and sometimes also annoying. But at least then I can say with every justification that my decisions are based on a foundation that I can represent openly and honestly. <\/p>\n<p>And yes, I believe that <strong>the right kind of digitalisation can offer real added value for all of us<\/strong>. At home or at work or anywhere else. AI, artificial intelligence, certainly helps with that too.  <\/p>\n<p>But we should be clear about one thing: whoever controls the digital systems controls us. To be honest, I have little desire for the control that is taking hold ever faster and is not exactly developing in the spirit of a free person. <\/p>\n<p>That is why I hope my posts help you take a look behind the scenes yourself, question things, and gain your own insights. Some will be frightening, some will be surprising, and some will be joyful. <\/p>\n<p>It is worth it. Because each of us is a small cog that is also capable of saying <strong>NO<\/strong> when necessary. For yourself, for your family, for friends, or simply because.   <strong>Have the courage!<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_small\"><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_small\"><\/div><div class=\"w-image align_center\"><div class=\"w-image-h\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"570\" height=\"760\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.der-digitalisierungsberater.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Flow_IMG_20230727_161231_01_011_resized-scaled.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.der-digitalisierungsberater.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Flow_IMG_20230727_161231_01_011_resized-scaled.jpg 570w, https:\/\/blog.der-digitalisierungsberater.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Flow_IMG_20230727_161231_01_011_resized-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 570px) 100vw, 570px\" \/><\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_small\"><\/div><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p style=\"text-align: center;\">You are COOL.
