Description
Historically, one can point to innovations that were a result of earlier efforts to build detectors for particle physics experiments or to work together more effectively. Two such developments, indispensable in our everyday life are the invention of the world wide web and the touch screen at CERN; combined in nearly all our phones.
Nowadays, we could be asked to show what societal benefits can be expected beforehand. To deal with these kind of questions, we need to be conscious of where current or future developments could be applied in other fields. The aim of this contribution is to trigger this mindset in an interactive manner.
