Will there be another thriving twenties, as there was in the previous century? For more than a decade, companies worldwide have been very successful and in continuous growth. Since mid-2019, the global economy has been darkening. Economy and even society are at a turning point. Trade barriers and local protectionism are enforced, the digital divide is fast growing, and the spread of infectious diseases such as the coronavirus severely hampers global collaboration and supply chains. Simply continuing as before is no longer an option. At the same time, the role of software and IT is being questioned due to its growing misuse and abuse, such as in so-called social media (which in fact is often not at all social), and fake news infiltrating politics and society.

还会有另一个繁荣的二十年代吗，就像上个世纪那样？十多年来，世界各地的公司都非常成功并且不断发展壮大。自 2019 年年中以来，全球经济一直在转阴。经济乃至社会正处于转折点。贸易壁垒和地方保护主义被强化，数字鸿沟迅速扩大，冠状病毒等传染病的传播严重阻碍了全球合作和供应链。简单地继续像以前一样不再是一种选择。与此同时，软件和 IT 的作用因其日益严重的误用和滥用而受到质疑，例如在所谓的社交媒体（实际上通常根本不是社交媒体）以及假新闻渗透到政治和社会中。
