Technologies and standards for creating user information are constantly and seemingly ever faster advancing. Sometimes it is hard to decide whether these technologies and standards are new ways and bridges that help you reach your goal faster and with higher quality, or whether they are walls that stand in the way and are still remembered when new technologies are history.
In concrete terms, it becomes critical when technologies and standards become an end in themselves. A love of technology and adherence to regulations then become a wall that one has overcome, but has practically stood still.
It would be a good idea to understand technology or standards as a concept and proposal, to analyze them with a certain distance and to use them for your own goals. That a technology or standard makes such a procedure possible is not least an indication of its quality and practical orientation.
