I can see the sarcasm in your post, but as someone who's just moved to Germany from a more ... bureaucratically modern ... country, it is enough to make one cry. The only digital part of my tasks so far has been that I had to send a document by email after travelling 800 km to perform a needlessly face-to-face task which required a followup.
- hef19898 7y agoWelcome to Germany (in all seriousness, if nobody rold you yet, welcome!)! I still remember when the local admin office was so proud to to go digital by offering online reservations for appointments. After at least two years of discussions. Portal looked already old in the early 2000s. When I first heard a politician announce that at a start-up conference, I had to double check that really talked about the implementation and not the law to be in force. And the guy was the (deputy-) head of parliament's digitalization council. Not sure just how the German government, and society, think a digital world is going to look like.
