The document discusses the Red Flag Acts of 1865, which imposed strict speed limits of 4 mph in rural areas and 2 mph in cities for vehicles, requiring them to be preceded by a man with a red flag. It then discusses the need for "digitally mature and responsible citizens" in today's world of advanced technologies like artificial intelligence, robots, and autonomous vehicles. The rest of the document describes a MakerDays event at the Graz University of Technology where over 100 children participated in workshops and activities over 4 days involving tools like 3D printers, robots, coding, and more to make a total of 468 digital products.

4. The most draconic restrictions and speed
limits were imposed by the 1865 act (the "Red
Flag Act"), which required all road
locomotives, which included automobiles, to
travel at a maximum of 4 mph (6.4 km/h) in the
country and 2 mph (3.2 km/h) in the city, as
well as requiring a man carrying a red flag to
walk in front of road vehicles hauling multiple
wagons.

6. Digital Technologies are
much more complex

7. In the age of artificial intelligence, robots,
virtual reality, autonomous driving, even
virtual sex and exploding (digital)
applications, so called digital-mature and
-responsible citizens are needed.

In summary 126 workshops (14% by Peers)
were given and 468 (digital) „products“ were
made by 110 children within 4 days.
On average each children did 4,3 products
during the MAKERDAYS 2018.
