Do you have an image of a typical computer scientist? Whatever you think now, it is most likely wrong in most parts, and rights in some parts. My relation to informatics is somewhat atyical, I think. The computer for me is a means of culture, a part of its anthropology, a means of expressing oneself, all in all, something that has a lot to do with humans. This perspective informs what I do as a computer scientist.

One of my special interests is the history of computers and of digital media. This interest goes so far that I have written a book about it. Find all information about it (in German) on https://computergeschichte.net/.
