Now I am writing monthly columns about "work style reform" that the government is leading. I have noticed that there are topics about "Information Technology(IT)" in the papers.

"What can we do any more by IT ?"

However, I come to think that "the level of IT literacy in Japan might be lower beyond my imagination"

with working for neighborhood association(NA).

Now, "no communication with PC or Smartphone" means the death of working people and students (including junior school students)

Because they cannot get any information from the community to live their life.

I know well that there are arguments about "proper age to start using smartphone", and the communication devices will give them a risk of crimes.

However, a smartphone is not only a communication device, but also a music player, a video player, and a security equipment to get their accurate location information.

It is a"life infrastructure", that is same as water, gas electricity and mobility.

This exception of "actual social death" is the generation of elder people.

Some of them cannot realize the merit of using IT devices.

They cannot understand the merit without using IT devices. So some of them cannot understand the demerit either.

Much the same is true on digital services.

Nobody cannot feel both the merit and demerit except for using Amazon, Mercari, SNS and E-mail.
