As a fellow German I could only smile and nod and think Yep, you're right. I love traditions and don't need everything to be digitalized and high-end tech -- but the point is...a country like Germany is falling behind...if it doesn't catch up quickly.
Claudia, I completely relate to what you’re saying as a fellow German. There’s a real comfort in traditions and not needing everything to be digitalized or high-tech. But the truth is, Germany has already fallen behind in so many ways when it comes to technology and digital advancements. On the other hand, we’re also frontrunners in areas like social justice, and when it comes to affirming LGBTQ+ rights, including gay, trans, and gender-affirming policies. It’s a strange balance to navigate, and it feels like we need to catch up in certain areas while holding onto the progress we’ve made in others.
