Gymiklasse und ihr Mathilehrer über neue Technologien?Die Gymi-Klasse C5c der Kantonsschule Zürich Oberland (KZO) und ihr Mathematiklehrer Patrik Gasser sprechen darüber, wie sich die Schule verändert, wie Technologie ihr Leben und die Gesellschaft beeinflusst, und was sie sich von Politiker*innen wünschen. Kernaussagen: Der Unterricht ist besser geworden, seit ich in die Schule gegangen bin. Die Schüler*innen bringen ihren eigenen Laptop mit ab der dritten Klasse. Die Hellraumprojektoren sind verschwunden. Ich lerne oft Leute online kennen, zum Beispiel, um über Bücher zu sprechen. Es ist online einfacher, Leute kennenzulernen, die gleich denken...2021-12-1230 minDeep Technology PodcastDeep Technology PodcastWie denkt ein Cybersecurity-Spezialist über neue Technologien? Max KlausMax Klaus ist stellvertretender Leiter Operative Cybersicherheit OCS am Nationalen Zentrum für Cybersicherheit NCSC in Bern. Wir sprechen über mögliche Cyberangriffe in der Schweiz, wie man diese erkennt und sich schützen kann und welche Technologien er aus Sicherheitsgründen selbst lieber nicht benutzt. Kernaussagen: Es gab 2020 rund 10,000 Meldungen für Cyberangriffe in der Schweiz. Das beinhaltet aber auch beispielsweise Meldungen, dass das Internet nicht mehr geht, also keine eigentlichen Cyberangriffe. Es besteht aber auch noch keine Meldepflicht für Cyberangriffe, deswegen ist es schwierig zu sagen, wieviele es tatsächlich sind. Meiste...2021-12-0535 minDeep Technology PodcastDeep Technology PodcastWie denkt eine Filmproduzentin über neue Technologien? Anne WalserAnne Walser ist Filmproduzentin in Zürich. Wir sprechen darüber, wie sich das Filmemachen durch neue Technologien entwickelt hat, wie sich Erzählformate verändern (oder auch nicht), und warum der Zauber von Geschichten Bestand haben wird.   Kernaussagen dieser Episode: Filmemachen hat sich sehr verändert und vereinfacht durch Technologie. Früher musste man immer sehr viel Papier kopieren und niemand hatte beispielsweise ein Handy. Teures Filmmaterial ist auch nicht mehr das Problem, früher hatte man noch Negative, die waren richtig wertvoll und gingen auch oft verloren.  Drehen ist günstiger geworden...2021-11-2828 minDeep Technology PodcastDeep Technology PodcastWie denkt eine Journalistin über neue Technologien? Rahel BainsRahel Bains ist Journalistin und Redaktionsleiterin bei Tsüri.ch. Wir sprechen über den Einfluss von Technologie auf den Journalismus, neue Möglichkeiten, Geschichten zu erzählen, die Rolle der Medien in der Gesellschaft und warum die ganze technologische Entwicklung etwas zu schnell verläuft. Kernaussagen: Als Journalistin schaltet man nie ganz ab, man hat immer die Augen und Ohren offen.  Mit der Digitalisierung kam der Onlinejournalismus auf, da muss man Geschichten ganz anders erzählen. Newsjournalismus ist eine ganz andere Welt als Printjournalismus. Im Print konnte man gar nicht so schnell reagieren. Niemand...2021-11-2131 minDeep Technology PodcastDeep Technology PodcastWie denkt ein Gameproduzent über neue Technologien? Moritz ZumbühlMoritz Zumbühl ist Gameproduzent und Unternehmer. Wir sprechen über das Massenphänomen Gaming, warum Gamen und Game-Produzieren etwas ganz anderes ist, über moralisch fragliche Gamemechaniken, Gamepropaganda und was es für Skills braucht, um das Meiste aus der Digitalisierung zu machen. Kernaussagen dieser Episode: Ein Game muss primär Spass machen und nicht unbedingt eine Message haben. Natürlich soll es auch zum Nachdenken bringen, aber das ist nicht das Wichtigste. "Den Gamer" gibt es nicht, es ist ein Massenphänomen. Durchschnittsalter des Gamers ist 37 Jahre, und 51 Prozent sind Männer, 49 Prozent Frauen. 2021-11-1435 minDeep Technology PodcastDeep Technology PodcastWie denkt eine Klimaaktivistin über neue Technologien? Michelle ReicheltMichelle Reichelt ist Vollzeitaktivistin beim Klimastreik. Sie spricht über die Vielschichtigkeit der Klimakrise, was neue Technologien und Innovation mit dem Klima zu tun haben, warum wir oft zu kurzfristig denken, und was sie sich wünscht für die Zukunft. Kernaussagen: Das Klima ist ein übergeordnetes Thema, das viele andere Themenbereiche zusammenfasst. Warum haben wir so einen hohen Ausstoss von Treibhausgasen? Weil der Kapitalismus endloses Wachstum vorgaukelt. Auf den ersten Blick sieht es so aus, dass man einfach nicht mehr fliegen oder autofahren soll. Doch warum fahren Leute so viel Auto? Weil sie auf dem Land...2021-11-0734 minDeep Technology PodcastDeep Technology PodcastWie denken Nationalrät*innen über neue Technologien? Min Li Marti, Jörg MäderMin Li Marti (SP, ZH) und Jörg Mäder (GLP, ZH) sind im Nationalrat und beschäftigen sich mit digitalen Themen. Wir sprechen darüber, wie Menschen in der Schweiz auf die Schweizer Politik Einfluss nehmen können, wo sie selbst im Umgang mit neuen Technologien vorsichtig sind und warum es mehr Visionen für die Zukunft braucht.   Kernaussagen: Generelle Aussagen wie, "die Politik muss etwas machen, um Technologie zu regulieren", helfen uns leider wenig. Das muss viel konkreter sein. (Min Li Marti)   Oft kommt es mir vor, dass die Leute einigen Themen a...2021-10-3150 minDeep Technology PodcastDeep Technology PodcastWie denkt ein Food Architect über neue Technologien? Tilo HühnTilo Hühn ist Leiter des Zentrums für Lebensmittelkomposition und -prozessdesign an der Zürcher Hochschule für Angewandte Wissenschaften (ZHAW) und Food Architect. Wir sprechen über den Zusammenhang zwischen Technologie und Lebensmitteln, Trends in der Lebensmittelkomposition, und warum es ein neues Bewusstsein für Lebensmittel braucht. Kernaussagen dieser Episode: Der Preisdruck auf Lebensmittel hat dazu geführt, dass unnötige Zusatzstoffe eingesetzt werden. Die Produktion von Lebensmitteln befindet sich in einer Abwärtsspirale. Ökologische Systeme sind ausgebeutet, man muss sich um die Bodengesundheit Sorgen machen. Es gibt heute Lebensmittel, die in einem Tank...2021-10-1737 minDeep Technology PodcastDeep Technology PodcastDrogen und neue Technologien. Daniel GnägiDaniel Gnägi ist Programmierer und Administrator des Online-Forums Eve & Rave zur Aufklärung über Drogenkonsum. Wir sprechen über den Einfluss von Technologie auf Drogenkonsum und Drogenkultur und warum Drogen sowohl gefährlicher wie auch weniger gefährlich geworden sind. Kernaussagen dieser Episode: Es gibt viele Klischees mit Drogen, das stört mich. Nicht nur Bankangestellte konsumieren Kokain oder Hippies LSD, es gibt alle Schattierungen, das sieht man im Forum. Ecstasy, Amphetamin, Kokain sind immer ein Thema in unserem Forum. Opiode und Downer haben ein Revival, das hat auch etwas damit zu tun mit Pop...2021-10-0324 minDeep Technology PodcastDeep Technology PodcastWie denkt eine Psychiaterin über neue Technologien? Esther PauchardEsther Pauchard ist Psychiaterin und Krimiautorin. Wir sprechen über neue Technologien in der Psychotherapie, wie Fortschritt und Sucht zusammenhängen, gesellschaftlich konditionierten Narzissmus und warum wir mehr über unsere Werte nachdenken sollten.   Kernaussagen dieser Episode: Psychotherapie ist noch nicht gross verändert durch Technologie. Therapie-Apps sind noch Science Fiction. Thema ist die Frage der Fern-Psychotherapie, das wäre möglich, doch als Psychiaterin brauche ich direkten Kontakt für die Diagnose, per Email bleiben nur noch die Worte, und das ist eine Verarmung. Eine Psychologie-App kann nicht die Psychotherapie ersetzen, damit könnte der Eindr...2021-09-1928 minDeep Technology PodcastDeep Technology PodcastWie denkt ein Zukunftsforscher über neue Technologien? Lars ThomsenLars Thomsen ist Zukunftsforscher. Wir sprechen über die Geschwindigkeit neuer Technologien und wo sich diese noch schneller entwickeln sollten, den Unsinn von Work-Life-Balance, eine partizipative Politik und wie unser Leben in 200 Wochen aussehen könnte. Kernaussagen: Das Problem heute ist die rasende Geschwindigkeit der Innovation. Es ist wie Popcorn, wo überall ständig neue Ideen aufpoppen, und das führt zu Exzessen. Wir brauchen Regulation von künstlicher Intelligenz oder auch der Effizienzgewinne durch Robotik, sodass unsere Gesellschaft nicht auseinanderbricht.  In 200 Wochen wird das Thema Robotik überall sein, wir haben nicht mehr viel Zeit, di...2021-09-0546 minDeep Technology PodcastDeep Technology PodcastWie denkt ein Bauer über neue Technologien? Martin JuckerMartin Jucker ist Bauer auf der Juckerfarm. Wir sprechen darüber, wie Digitalisierung und Automatisierung in der Landwirtschaft ankommt, welche Rolle Daten und künstliche Intelligenz spielen, wie er Social Media einsetzt, Live-Streams in den Stall, und was er sich für eine nachhaltige Zukunft wünscht. Kernaussagen: Die Wissenschaft versteht erst etwa fünfzig bis siebzig Prozent von dem, was über dem Boden passiert und knapp zehn Prozent von dem, was im Boden passiert. Künstliche Intelligenz, Daten, Machine Learning, das ist sehr nützlich für die Landwirtschaft, doch wir benutzen es noch viel zu w...2020-10-3042 minDeep Technology PodcastDeep Technology PodcastWie denkt eine Kochbuchautorin über neue Technologien? Nadia DamasoNadia Damaso ist Kochbuchautorin und kreativer Kopf in alle Richtungen. Wir sprechen über ihre Ansichten zu Social Media, Essen aus der Natur und aus dem Labor, den Einfluss von Filmen und Medien auf die Zukunft und auch darüber, warum sie künstliche Intelligenz unnötig findet. Kernaussagen:  Auf Instagram musst du eigentlich immer “on” sein, doch ich nehme es nicht so ernst. Ich bin das nicht als Mensch, ich mag nicht den ganzen Tag das Handy vor dem Gesicht haben, ich finde das zu anstrengend. Influencer, die andere beinflussen, das finde ich nicht pos...2020-10-2334 minDeep Technology PodcastDeep Technology PodcastWie denkt ein Zivildienstler über neue Technologien? JonasJonas hat gerade seine Matur gemacht und leistet Zivildienst bei einer Primarschule und einem Kindergarten. Er spricht über Technologie und ihren Impact in der Ausbildung, die Zukunft von Berufen, was es braucht, damit alles in geordneten und nachhaltigen Bahnen verläuft und warum er sich mehr Gesetze für Technologiefirmen wünscht. Kernaussagen: Ich habe zwar Social Media Accounts, die brauche ich aber nie, weil es mich nicht interessiert. Ich habe lieber mit weniger Leuten Kontakt, dafür sieht man sich richtig beim Abmachen. Mit YouTube kann man zwar viel lernen, aber ein Studi...2020-10-1621 minDeep Technology PodcastDeep Technology PodcastWie denkt eine Juristin über neue Technologien? Karin LorezKarin Lorez ist selbständige Juristin und Modedesignerin. Sie spricht über den Einfluss von Technologie auf Gesetze und die Arbeit von Juristen, wie künstliche Intelligenz den Anwalt ersetzen kann und warum es gefährlich ist, wenn man Technologie und ihren Machern zu unkritisch gegenüber steht. Kernaussagen: Wie lange braucht es noch Juristen? In gewissen Bereichen definitiv nicht mehr.  Das unterscheidet uns noch von Maschinen: Selber denken, Ideen entwicklen, die eben nicht einer totalen Logik entsprechen, das sollte man fördern. Es ist wichtig, dass man in den Hochschulen lernt, dass man selber...2020-10-0925 minDeep Technology PodcastDeep Technology PodcastWie denkt ein Kommunikationsberater über neue Technologien? Daniel HellerDaniel Heller ist Kommunikationsberater und Verwaltungsratspräsident des Kantonsspitals Baden. Wir sprechen darüber, wie neue Technologien die Medien und Kommunikation beeinflussen, wie sie das Funktionieren des Spitals verändern, die Rolle der Demokratie und der Regierung im Umgang mit neuen Technologien, wichtige Skills im Umgang mit Technologie, und warum er trotz Robotern und künstlicher Intelligenz wenig Angst um die Zukunft der Arbeit hat. Kernaussagen: Technologien waren schon immer umstritten. Bis 1912 war das Auto in Graubünden verboten, oder man hatte Angst vor der Einführung der Eisenbahn. Man wusste nicht, ob es den Mensch...2020-10-0233 minDeep Technology PodcastDeep Technology PodcastWie denkt ein Pfarrer über neue Technologien? Kurt StehlinKurt Stehlin ist reformierter Pfarrer. Wir sprechen über Technologie als Hilfsmittel, das den realen Kontakt nicht ersetzen kann, wie Technologie in die Arbeit als Pfarrer einfliesst, Informationsflut, Suchtpotenzial, Ansichten zu Biotech und Gentechnologie, und wie sich Innovation nachhaltiger gestalten liesse.  Kernaussagen:  Für mich ist Erlösung nicht in der Technik. Da geht der Mensch da und dort über die Grenzen hinaus, wo er Sachen initiiert, bei denen die Folgen nicht absehbar sind. Overnewsd and underinformed: Ich habe so viele Meldungen aber keine substantielle Information. Das begegnet mir regelmässig. Eine Grundfr...2020-09-2524 minDeep Technology PodcastDeep Technology PodcastWie denkt eine Medienwissenschaftlerin über neue Technologien?

Wir sprechen über Forschungsresultate und Volksweisheiten zum Einfluss digitaler Technologien auf die Menschen, Life-Domain-Balance, das Big-Brother-Szenario, Internetsucht, und darüber, dass es parallele Zukünfte geben wird. Kernaussagen: Es braucht viel Neugier und eine hohe Frustrationstoleranz mit neuen Technologien. Es gibt ein Produktivitätsparadox mit digitalen Technologien: Manchmal ist der Aufwand grösser als der Effizienzgewinn. Wie können wir uns gesund halten in diesem digitalen Überfluss, wie halten wir eine gute Life-Domain-Balance? Es ist schwieriger geworden, konsequent Ferien zu machen, weil man immer erreichbar ist. Das Abs...2020-09-1833 minDeep Technology PodcastDeep Technology PodcastWie denkt ein Unternehmer über neue Technologien?

Wir sprechen über Innovation in der Spinnerei in den vergangenen Jahrzehnten, die Schwierigkeiten in der Entwicklung neuer Materialien, positive und negative Auswirkungen von Technologien, welche Herausforderungen sie stellen für Menschen und Staaten, und wer in der Verantwortung steht, dass die technologische Entwicklung nachhaltig verläuft. Kernaussagen:  Wir haben Garne mit Nanotechnologie entwickelt, doch es gab überhaupt keine Nachfrage. Die Leute haben vielleicht Angst vor Nanotechnologie. Wir haben auch mal ein Garn entwickelt, das nach Parfüm riecht. Doch niemand hat sich dafür i...2020-09-1122 minDeep Technology PodcastDeep Technology PodcastWie denkt eine Politikerin über neue Technologien?

Sie spricht darüber, wie neue Technologien ihr Leben, ihre Meinung und die Politik beeinflussen, welche Technologien sie problematisch findet, was man dagegen tun sollte, und welche Skills sie wichtig findet für die Zukunft. Kernaussagen: Der Mensch hinter der Politikerin ist wichtiger geworden wegen Social Media. Ich will erst etwas auf Social Media posten, wenn ich mich damit detailliert auseinandergesetzt habe, doch die Medien brauchen sofort eine Reaktion, sonst hat man keine Aufmerksamkeit. In 20 Jahren wird man darüber l...2020-09-0427 minDeep Technology PodcastDeep Technology PodcastWie denkt ein Lehrer über neue Technologien? Remo Rueppel, SeklehrerRemo Rueppel ist Sekundarlehrer.

Kernaussagen: Ich glaube, Technologie ist ungesund für die innere Ruhe und die innere Zufriedenheit des Menschen. Aber es ist die heutige Welt, und man muss lernen, damit umzugehen. Du musst dich eigentlich unersetzbar machen. Gerade Führungsaufgaben kann noch nicht so s...2020-08-2826 minDeep Technology PodcastDeep Technology PodcastWie denkt eine 2.

Sekundarklasse aus dem Zürcher Oberland spricht über Vorteile und Gefahren von Social Media, Handysucht, ob es künstliche Intelligenz braucht, was sie für mögliche Auswirkungen hat, Automation von Berufen und ihre Wünsche für die Zukunft. Kernaussagen: Ich benutze das Smartphone 5 bis 8 Stunden pro Tag, eine Stunde kommt einem wie 10 Minuten vor. Die Bildschirmzeit ist explodiert in der Corona-Krise. Influencer schädigen mein Selbstbewusstsein und beeinflussen meine Meinung. Social Media ist dazu designt, dass man süchtig wird.
