About Raf
I’m as happy as a child when I receive an e-mail from my almost 80 years old mother, asking when I’ll be visiting her again. Way too long ago. I find it tremendously cool when my 7 years old godchild shows the selfie of his carnaval outfit of last weekend - on his tablet! I looove my digital life. And I really like people around me getting into that digital life. And especially the ones that are not that obvious.
I truly believe that technology is a bless, is good, is a big improvement, is a complete new way of living and is able to get people to another level. Not to a lonely, dark and scary level - as feared by many doom prophets but to an extremely social one. With many nice and warm friends and family that really care.
But there’s still a long, long way to go. Technology is not always a gift and can often be a true burden. I see it happening a lot… Take your keyboard: who the hell ever invented this ugly, user-unfriendly and not-well-thought-of device everyone is struggling with? Take the software of any ATM device: it must have been a not-speaking, geeky, table-thinking, in-a-hole-in-the-ground-living, frustrated nurd that designed the screens that are used, e-ve-ry day, by a zillion people on Earth. Take the on-board-computers in a regular car: they look like they just have been teleported from a DeLorean of the movie „Back to the future”. The movie was launched in 1980, you know?
And that’s why I want to inspire customers at 22: pushing them to build a road that will help all people to use technology that really improves the world we live in.
In a decent way,
in respect with nature,
in respect with our voulnerable spirituality and soul,
in respect with each other.
Oh - yes, and I do want to have fun doing that.
Amen.
