Anniversary editorial"It's just getting started!"
"Computer" - with this element in our magazine name in 1998, we wanted to take account of the IT influence in automation technology that was already emerging at the time. However, the expected IT influence took much longer than we expected at the time.

The question of trust
I am always fascinated by the demonstration of the high-voltage system at the Deutsches Museum in Munich: Arcs of light move purposefully through the room, the smell of ozone is in the air and a person sits calmly in a Faraday cage while 270,000 volts buzz around the sphere. A few meters below, visitors stand and watch the spectacle in amazement. What they all have in common is the confidence that nothing can happen to them - confidence in the technology and in the person operating it.
