Summary | In an interview with trend researcher Karin Frick, the future of digital development is discussed. Frick predicts that commercial as well as social interactions will become more digitized. Examples illustrating this trend would be the car-sharing app Uber which connects drivers with people who need a ride. Similarly, already existing and highly popular dating apps point to what might become the norm for initiating all personal interaction.
