DeepaMehta invited to FHTW seminar "Sustainability and IT"

On February 4, 2008, Jörg Richter and Malte Reißig of DeepaMehta talked at FHTW Berlin with students of the seminar "Sustainability and IT". Topics were:

  • What questions arise when applying Sustainability to information, knowledge, and digital media?
  • Under what conditions is information a source of action?
  • Do today's fragmented user interfaces make digesting information difficult or are they a fixed feature of post-modernism easily dealt with by young people?

The seminar was held by Oliver Passek, teacher of Business Communication Management.
