"In an information-rich world, the wealth of information means a dearth of something else: a scarcity of whatever it is that information consumes. What information consumes is rather obvious: it consumes the attention of its recipients. Hence a wealth of information creates a poverty of attention.” These prophetic lines were shared by Nobel laureate and social scientist Dr Herbert Simon in 1971.

Zum einen ist die Zahl der Teilnehmer an der IDS und die Menge der Aussteller gestiegen, zum anderen nehmen die Innovationen und digitalen Technologien einen immer breiteren Raum ein. Der Beruf des Zahnarztes (vormals eine rein mechanische Arbeitsweise) wird zunehmend ein Kom mandoplatz, umgeben von den unterschiedlichsten Technologien – so auch den neuen modernen Lasergeräten. Wenn man meinte, nur vier oder fünf Laserhersteller auf dieser Ausstellung anzutreffen, so musste man sich bei dem Blick ins Ausstellerverzeichnis eines Besseren belehren lassen..
