Actually, IBM and Germany have a long history of state driven digital innovation ...

Long history would imply continuity, not "so long ago that nobody in the comment section is old enough to have lived through it".
But surprised by the backlash here, but I was thinking 21 century Germany.
And in the last 20 years germany did not manage to do anything when it comes to digitalization. Hell, our schools still use overhead projectors.
Not to forget that fax machines are still in use, the German government is using an excessive amount of paper and the lack of any type of digitalization or even a strategy to solve this problem on a national level
Glad comments don't get disappeared through downvoting, it's bad when people want to erase history.
