For a decade, we have been told that "influence" is a commodity. Teenagers aspire to be YouTubers, brands throw millions at TikTok stars, and the number of followers is the new currency. But every market based on attention eventually corrects."The Influencer Bubble" argues that the golden age of the influencer is ending. Oversaturation, declining trust, and the rise of AI-generated content are creating a perfect storm. Consumers are tired of sponsored lives and curated perfection. The "de-influencing" trend is just the first crack in the dam.This book analyzes the economics of the crash. What happens when engagement drops? What happens when brands realize the ROI isnt there? It offers a roadmap for the post-influencer world, where community, expertise, and genuine connection will replace the hollow metrics of vanity.

Before 1961, many psychologists believed that watching violence drained aggressive impulses (catharsis). Albert Bandura suspected the opposite. He showed children a video of an adult beating up an inflatable "Bobo doll." When the children were later left alone with the doll, they didnt just playthey mimicked the exact violent assaults they had seen, even using guns and hammers.This book details the experiment that founded Social Learning Theory. It argues that we are not born violent, but we learn it through modeling. In an age of TikTok challenges and media violence, Banduras findings are more relevant than ever. We are the mirrors of our environment.

Gear production is undergoing a transformation. As demands for efficiency, flexibility, and sustainability continue to rise, digital technologies such as artificial intelligence, digital twins, and data-driven control systems are coming into sharper focus. But how far has this transformation progressed and where do conventional approaches still set the benchmark? The 2025 Aachen Forum on Gear Production (AFGP), organized by the Laboratory for Machine Tools and Production Engineering (WZL) of RWTH Aachen University in cooperation with the Research Association for Drive Technology (FVA), will address these questions with a special focus on the role of digitalization and AI in gear manufacturing. The program covers a broad spectrum: from AI-assisted gear design and visual analytics for tool wear, to digital process chains, multi-body simulations, and hybrid manufacturing strategies. Experts from industry and academia will present current developments, practical applications, and critical assessments of digital solutions in gear production. Participants will also have the opportunity to experience ongoing research firsthand during a guided tour of the WZL laboratories. An evening networking event will provide further space for in-depth technical exchange. AFGP 2025 offers a unique platform to discuss how digital and conventional technologies can complement each other and how gear production can evolve to meet the challenges of tomorrow.

In the 80s and 90s, when storage space on cartridges was limited, the story didnt fit on the screenit had to be printed on paper."The Paper Tutorial" is a eulogy for the physical companion to digital worlds.
