in englischer SpracheInformation Technology is revolutionizing the way in which society, industry, and governments communicate. Emerging trends such as cloud computing and mobility are beginning to change our everyday lives. This rapid evolution brings along new challenges for our society and raises legal, moral, and ethical questions. In order to actively define the future, we need to address these issues, to safeguard data protection, and to minimise the environmental impact. Defining the future also means to foster research and development and to enable creative minds, which in turn will generate new job opportunities and many powerful innovations in our lifetimes.
