Digitalization and social acceleration | Tilman Santarius

Digital devices such as the smartphone enable us to complete many activities in our lives more quickly. Does digitalization therefore contribute to accelerating the pace of our lives? And if so, does it lead to a more fulfilling life or more stress? In this video, Tilman Santarius presents the results of a representative survey of the German population.

About the project:
This video is from the project "Digitalisation and sustainability". We’re a team of young scientists who critically examine digitalization from the perspective of different disciplines. We investigate the potentials but also the risks of digital technologies for the urgently needed sustainability transformation of the economy and society. Our project is a cooperation between the Technische Universität Berlin (TU Berlin) and the Institute for Ecological Economy Research (IÖW).
