It will be a matter of personal choice for the elderly to continue to work in competition with active-duty employees or work like those at Mayekawa Manufacturing.
Of course, they also have the option to enjoy retirement life in the countryside or in
cities.
Education of Information Technology Nurtures the Next
Generation
Information technology literacy has become a basic skill alongside reading and
writing. In addition, good use of information technology will significantly increase
the efficiency of education. For instance, videos are more convincing than a litany
of words in explaining the miseries of war, art, or the mechanism of fertilization and
birth. It is necessary to incorporate information into education for the sake of educating future generations, as well as to enhance the effect of education. Small groups
of elite people with a strong will and young organizations such as the Association of
Digital Textbook and Teaching (DiTT) and CANVAS are beginning to move the
world in this sense.
Society with Employment
Employment is important not only to help individuals earn money but also functions
as an individual’s point of contact with others in society. Specifically, in the coming
era when food, clothing, and shelter become daily necessities, as well as things such
as consumer electronics, cars, music, and videos can be obtained at increasingly low
prices, employment will be more important as a point of contact with society rather
than to make a living.
If we stop to think about this, there is a concern that artificial intelligence may
take away jobs. Will robots start to replace people’s manual labor and even eliminate the need for intellectual labor?
Linkers Corporation, a venture capital company, has pointed us in the direction
of the answer to that question. Trying to link the needs of large companies with the
technologies of small and medium-sized enterprises is a common idea; they tried to
create a system to get people involved in connecting one another’s information. That
number has already reached 1,700 people. These people are doubled linkers––in
other words, they link needs and seeds through skillful coordination. Although this
venture company created an excellent information system, the uptake was poor. In
fact, failures of this nature committed by entrepreneurs are not unheard of. The idea
can only work when there is enough uptake by people, suggesting that only collaboration between artificial intelligence and people can turn this into an efficient and
comfortable system for humans.
