Why Germany really sucks once in a while and how I hope it will work out.
"I don’t really watch TV too often, but I like Political reports. Yesterday’s report was, again, about Social Networking in Germany. We have two big state sponsored media institutions, ARD and ZDF, bound to deliver high-quality political and historical content dedicated to make us smart enough that we’re not becoming Nazis again. That works more or less. Unfortunately these channels seem to be run by editors who either don’t understand or don’t want to focus on the many positive aspects of the social web.
After interesting comments and reactions on the Blog there is not a single word to add.
My hope is that, in the end, "the media market" will regulate itself.
Consumers will hopefully abandon old fashioned TV , changing to sources where someone understands ongoing change. In my opinion "voting with your remote, keyboard or mouse" is the only way to really change things.
Just hope we're gonna be quick enough and not all members of olders generations will already by scared away by "that Internet thing" before they have a real chance of getting to know its possibilities.
Why Apfelsaftschorle (Sparkling Apple Juice) is the most popular drink in Germany
Did you know that Germans favorite non-alcoholic drink is Apfesaftschorle. I thought about it and came up with a couple ideas.
- Germans think straight. They know the fruit so the drink must not be that bad. How about mango or another fruit juice. People here seldom order it. Sometimes even if you try to order another fruit juice, the best-before date might be expired.
- Group dynamics: All of my friends drinks it, so I will take the same.
- Choices: Restaurants don´t offer a variety of other drinks if you don´t want to go for a Coke brand.
- People think it´s healthy. Actually Apfesaftschorle has a lot of sugar. The downside is that sugar make your insulin level higher and has the effect that you loose less fat over time.
