Mediarena/Mediavision: Richard David Precht as guest

As part of the Publisuisse Mediavision event on April 23, Richard David Precht will speak on «Morality and the Role of the Media and Brands in Society.» He will expand on these ideas at the Goldbach Mediarena on May 15.

Based on considerations about morality, responsibility and the change of values, he gives an outlook on how the task of technology has changed over time - and with what consequences. "In the history of mankind, technology served man for survival, culture for living together. Today, on the other hand, technology is increasingly serving coexistence," Precht said. "Only if we permanently and repeatedly anchor the guiding values of our culture in the world of technical coexistence will its role be a salutary one."

As part of the Goldbach Mediarena on May 15, Richard David Precht continues his ideas. In his lecture, he talks about the acceleration that comes with digitization and technological progress and the "importance of efficiency in today's society." "Too much efficiency is inefficient," says Richard David Precht. "How creative, for example, are efficient employees?". In his lecture, Precht warns against excessive striving for perfection and optimization and points out possible alternatives.

Registrations for the Goldbach Mediarena are still open until May 6, 2013. here possible.
