Hello— Thank you all the useful comments. I believe that these tips can really help me with my further career. Even as this list's purpose is not to ask personal advice, I am happy that I did ask here. Strangly, I could not get this insight by talking about it with collegues, friends and family (I tried).
A main message I got here is that even if things look grim (concerning technology), there are good initatives and people that are improving the situation, or at the very least that there are opportunities out there that can make one's personal and career situation better. Best, take care, —Marco
