This is the story of the species categorized above. In Germany, it is rather widely spread and is referred to as “Beamter”.
The “Beamter” is known to be rather resilient towards change and prefers to dance to its own peculiar rhythm of efficiency and modernity.

Welcome to the World of German Civil Servants
How do they embrace modern data processing, computers, and IT in the 21st century?
Our hidden camera excellently observes the daily routine of three ranks of this breed at work in 2023:
The Craftsman
The Administrative Assistant
The Supervisor
In this laugh-out-loud moments, we witness the clash of epochs. Intrepid civil servants navigate the treacherous waters of modernity with all the grace of a tap-dancing elephant. Will they ever adapt to a brave new world of pixels and procrastination, or are they destined to be the office's resident time-traveler,
forever lost between the analog and the absurd?
I let you be the judge.

The Craftsman:
Often suffering from "Mouse Trap Fears". They think a computer mouse is an actual rodent trap and are worried about catching digital mice. Beside that, he can repair everything ...(non digital..).

The Administrative Assistant:
Often, suffering from "Cloud Cover Concerns", they're convinced that cloud storage is where their data goes to party, and they fear it will never return.

Shown here is a rather advanced "model" that is flabbergasted by the sensory overload produced by a VR headset..... (What is that?).
The Supervisor:
This breed hypocritically orders the "lower ranks" to finally embrace, love, and USE modern data processing technology. He knew all along that people who are still scared of this "hi-tech" thing today are so yesterday, and should return to their Stone Age caves.
