The Blockchain, the technique behind the Bitcoins is the subject of the 30th ITA dossier published these days. Five years ago, in January 2013, the ITA published the first dossier on Facebook and Co.

Topics for everyone

Social media, data security, nutrition, autonomous driving, smart grids and drones are just some of the many topics we encounter in modern everyday life. Thanks to smartphones, we sometimes use technology even earlier, when rules and regulations have been put in place to protect our privacy.
 
On only two pages, the ITA dossiers present the topic in question in a way that is understandable for non-scientists and with regard to possible options for action in politics and society.
