Why is there nothing interesting about cloud computing on television?
If you browse through the media libraries, you will only find criticism that cloud computing is problematic when it comes to data protection or that it consumes a lot of energy.
But rarely anything that serves to build competence. The most challenging piece I could find on the topic was from the "Sendung mit der Maus" (The Mouse Show). It was at elementary school level.
Why isn't such a topic, which affects the entire economy and administration, covered on television? Instead, there's entertainment, crime dramas, talk shows…

Because those people who are interested in the topic do not learn and experience it through the TV program.
And those who do not know about it do not want to see any reports.
So we’ve been 30, 40 years ago. At that time there were such tech shows and they also had their spectators.
I know It’s called the WDR computer club. Only: At that time EDV (electronic data processing) and computers were generally only something for freaks, gamers and technicians. It was completely different times and conditions. People had to learn first: what is a computer? What can he do? How does he work?
And today the computer has become a mass medium. Everyone has at least one (smartphone) and makes everything possible without making it aware that it is a computer. Computer enthusiasm is still only available at the Nerds (new German for Freak and Gamer *hi*) and even those know too little about the computer. There can hardly be anything left with the terms “Rechenwerk, Speicherwerk, Steuerwerk, Enter, Output”. But no one is interested.
Therefore, broadcasts via networks and cloud in the media are too abstract and too detailed to reach a television audience.
That’s why the WDR computer club closed its doors even after 20 years and 400 broadcasts in 2003. The idea of the talk about this technique continues https://cc2.tv The former WDR-moderator Wolfgang Rudolph continues where 203 has been stopped and brings topics in every show, which e.g. also deal with cloud etc.
I know… everything you’ve told me, I know and I know from personal experience.
I’m a “debate personality”, can’t be different.
And whenever so innocent is asked why we are not yet going on with digitalization, I will only point out that we have failed to continue in 2003. We stopped getting better and stopped being good.
Until the 1990s, even criminalized who has connected a affordable, fast modem without BZT eagle to the telephone network. Or even unpaid user software has copied itself to acquire basic knowledge that the school began to convey unwillingly ten years later. What a misery…
And that’s exactly what you know, “computer shows” on the TV are absolutely nothing.
After 20 years and 400 shows, the ComputerClub has not been randomly set – but because the number of spectators has decreased massively.
People just didn’t want to hear anything about the subject. If you say it economically, “The market was saturated.”
Because from 2003, there were so many computers in every office that they only got to what they are, in the end, still today: tools – tools. That’s all.
People have already had computers at home – and in the bag at least one mobile phone, if not even one of the first smartphones. ISDN might have been at speed for communication with channel bundling – no man needed.
So why do you want to know something about things?
And now we are living in the time when “the market is flooded” – with pseudo-scientific videos about every little Fitzel theme – videos that no one could watch in his lifetime.
And then you want another TV show with EDV content? That would be real pearls in front of the column.
Please note: You asked and I answered you professionally. Do something about it instead of discussing it for a long time. 😉
I’d like to believe that in 2003, everyone would’ve got it with the computer, and it doesn’t need any more technical shows. What has been seen today: the IT competence of the youth is limited to the consumption and production of videos in social media.
Instead, you should have taken the next steps: Everyone can computers? Good! Then we continue with Big Data Analytics, Internet of Things, Cloud Computing, Artificial Intelligence. It affects everyone, we’re surrounded by it. But what one sees on television about it is mau: occasional technology criticism, epoch-like, without any depth.
There are plenty of cooking items: How to stab an egg you can see more often than how to backup your data. The conditions are not correct.
Wolfgang Rudolph I always liked to be a podcast. He takes up the themes, but is a lonely caller in the desert. Lives in his world, feels discernible.
The question is, of course, what one considers to be worth knowing.
You can do this superficially and then land mainly at the Buzzwordbingo – then the viewer has heard the terms, or you want to get right into the technical aspects, but you don’t really take the broad audience with you.
And then, of course, you also need noc the appropriate professionals who do the show and prepare the topic.
“In cloud computing, software is not used on a local computer, but software is used on a server that is accessed via the Internet. ‘
This would end the contribution. Or do you want to know about the programming of operating systems or load balancing?
That would blow the frame of a TV show.

“In cooking, food is heated to high temperatures.”
So everything is said about cooking. Nevertheless, there are numerous cooking shows.
Yes, because there are many different recipes. And because there is Johann Lafer.
What do you care about cloud computing?

I’m not the benchmark, but cloud computing is a good example of a topic that deserves more attention than it experiences.
There are even more such digitization issues that are circulating all industries, but on television it simply does not take place.
There are boiled munters, there are fictitious crime cases solved, there camp B-promises in the jungle, on islands or in containers.
I feel like a refusal of reality and then everyone wonders: why are we so suspended in digitization?
The problem is that the ÖR has to operate as many groups of people as possible and therefore cannot go so deeply. At the top of the Deutschlandfunk you will find a few deeper shows, but I think most of them are not so relevant to Otto Normal consumer.
Well, for Otto normal consumers, deep sea or polar research is not relevant. Nevertheless, there are more contributions than the data center next door. Or even about the IT expertise that is so popular in job advertisements.
Is a little too special for the audience media.
But everyone now uses it: Be it that he uploads a few documents or photos to the cloud, takes office hours online or participates in online seminars and conferences. Hardly an app without backend in the cloud. Companies give up their data centers completely and move everything there.
Full business models are converted to digital.
because this does not interest the broad mass and there is no PC format anymore in the TV because “everyone” only uses smartphone/tablet

This has nothing to do with the entertainment medium TV.
At least the public broadcasting has a different order than “sustainability”.
But quite modernly, watching TV primarily as a entertainment medium and not expecting to be smarter after switching off.
But not to explain to everyone his hobby and to everyone his technique
By the way, there is a lot – not just entertainment

You should probably ask for that at the stations!
