Remarks from Veta:

This is a topic that is much discussed at the office. It’s hard to let go of the screen, especially for the children and it has become an natural part of most peoples daily life. We often ask ourselves – Is this something we really wanted? This this just happened as a result of innovations? What are the impact on society and on individuals to spend this much time in something that isn’t real. How do we relate to the questions that what happens online feels real to many people, is it a part of our reality now?

We promise you much more on this topic soon.
