Basically we use technology the same way as in the U.S.

We use it in the private sector, infrastructure, in science, research, economic sector, public sector, education, non-profit organizations, the media etc.

Germany is one of the leading countries when it comes to applied research such as biomedicine, physics, technological/ pharmaceutical research and the automobile industry. Technology is ever present and we are constantly surrounded by it. No company could function without hardware, software, programs, different systems, the internet or IT support. Just like in the U.S. more and more services are provided by using your smart phones (ranges from e.g. ordering your groceries to booking a vacation). The use of technology makes our lives easier, it adds structure and helps us to improve our day-to-day life, gives us the opportunity to save lives and to make a profit.
