During the seminar "Google, Facebook & Co. – Self-Determination and External Determination in a Globalized Media Society" in April 2015, the multimedia workshop group created a blog titled "  The Age of the Internet " Whether it was a radio, rap, or comic workshop, all of them revolved around new possibilities and constraints, personal interests and those of business and government in internet use and participation.

radio group produced an interview with Nicolas Rück of Wikimedia to find out how Wikimedia works and how people can help shape it. They also produced features on Facebook and tracking . of surveillance was also a focus of the rap workshop and their rap production  comic group demonstrated how new products can make life—and surveillance—smart, convenient, and seamless in their "Smart City Concept" for Berlin.

Naturally, many questions remained unanswered for the participants – office management trainees at the Louise Schroeder School. Digital self-determination and external determination are a current topic for all of us.
