“I will mention the demerit of the population decrease and aging. This is also a part which is not visible. The field which Japan is not able to have competitive power once is the digitech. Even the time filled to the energy of the 1970s to the 80s was so.”

This is the sentence pulled with the book”EMPTY PLANET THE SHOCK OF GLOBAL POPULATION DECLINE” (Bungeishunju) .

The education system of Japan used to be mentioned as a reasons why cannot have competitive power. The Education of Japan is considering knowledge and skill as important. As a result, it has been suggested that Japanese thinking power, judgment, and self-expression strength are inferior. Even if it changes the education system of Japan, the competitive power of digitech Research of Japan does not change. This is the view with that book.

Because it is always young man that develops the innovation in digital . It was that Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, and Jeff Bezos also showed the innovative inspiraction at the young time.
“But already so many young men are not in Japan. It will become difficult to start the innovation, if society ages”.

Then, what should we do with the digitech research of Japan from now on?

I think Japan should not stop the digitech research. Though it is a weak field for Japan,digital is indispensable technology to our society.
It is necessary to emphasize “select and concentration”.
On the theme of “Sustainable society”, we select carefully the digitech which contributes to it, and centralize the resource. Isn’t this the state of the next era?

What we want is not the new innovativeness but the technology which has convenience truly.
