Students in the German state of North Rhine Westfalia were due to sit their final school examination (Abitur) in biology yesterday. The exam has now been postponed until Friday with an exception for Muslim students on account of the ending of Ramadan.
The reason for the postponement is due to a technical problem with the IT system.
The population of North Rhine Westfalia is over 18 million.
It’s ironic that such a serious IT failure should happen on the same day that both the British and German governments expressed concern of major computer hacking by Russia.
It would seem abundantly evident that we are becoming far too dependent on computer technology. Are we slaves to the world of IT?
