Computer technology 


Computer technology is expected to undergo technological innovation in various fields. The first is to increase the calculation speed (supercomputer). The direction of big data due to the widespread use of IoT, etc. is steadily accelerated, and we must meet the expectations for faster analysis processing. In addition, the parameters of the problems to be dealt with will be complicated and miniaturized, and high speed simulation technology will be required. The second is the man-machine interface. 

At present, input from the fingertip is the mainstream, but in the near future it will be voice input, and beyond that, the era of remote control from the brain will come. It is also possible to send images directly to the brain by displaying images on the retina. 

However, VR and AR are expected to emerge more than anything else. Teleworking has become a hot topic in work style reform, but in the near future, VR technology will make people feel like they are working in it, as the environment in which they work will be reflected in their surroundings anytime, anywhere. There is a humanoid robot (video) that is an anthropomorphic knowledge base, and you can work while talking to the robot. The third is wearable computerization. 

The physical condition is monitored from the clothes worn, and abnormalities such as heat stroke and vascular diseases are detected, and attention is paid to excessive exercise, labor, and uneven eating and drinking. At present, the importance of preventive medicine is being recognized, and wearable computers are considered to make a great contribution to this field. Fourth is the field of new architectures such as quantum computers and biocomputers. 

When Moore's Law becomes the limit and the semiconductor integrated circuit cannot be further miniaturized, an alternative technique is required. Currently, the realized architecture is a grid computer, but it is natural to think that it will essentially approach the operating principle of the human brain. Eventually, it will be possible to think of uploading information on the human brain to a computer. Computer technology is, in a sense, a technology that makes you dream and realize your dreams. 

However, when considering the sustainable development of the future society, it must not be a dream, but it must realistically contribute to solving social issues and realizing the ideal future image. It is a human and social problem that deepens the application field of what purpose the computer should be utilized for, rather than what should be considered as computer technology. It used to be a technology that was developed for military purposes, but in the coming era, we must pave the way for advances in computer technology in order to realize a peaceful society.





[Issue to be recognized] (Background of the times, social issues and background factors)

IoT, robots, and artificial intelligence technologies are being increasingly applied to workplaces and social life. Robots and artificial intelligence technologies evolve to reach singularity (technical singularity). Productivity will increase by coexisting with robots and artificial intelligence.

In Japan, due to the aging population and declining birthrate, the population is declining and labor shortages are becoming a social problem.

While the world is heading toward population growth, it is heading towards a population onus society in populated countries such as China and India.

Beyond the framework of individualism, human beings become a society in which human rights are emphasized and individuals become independent and autonomous in pursuit of their own realization. The role that people should play shifts to jobs that require creativity. In particular, the life of the Japanese has been fixedly conceptualized as something that revolves around work. In 21st century management, we will strive to shift to an industry rooted in the ideas of well-being and quality of life, regardless of the idea of   economic rationality.

In 21st century management, people with diverse perspectives will solve various social issues related to each individual in order to meet the diverse needs of society. .. As a member of society, companies must work to solve social issues through their businesses.

The 21st century platform is a system that leads to the creation of wisdom and must be equipped with robots and artificial intelligence that provide wisdom.

A mature 21st century platform is not only about pursuing needs, economy, and convenience, but more than that, 1) public interest, 2) solving social issues become.

The 21st century industry will develop with computer technology at its core. Specifically, quantum computers, optical computers, DNA computers, ubiquitous computing (tactile technology, organic light emitting diodes, flexible screen technology (technology to make anything in front of you computer's screen, virtual retina display, Internet These include eyeglasses (Internet contact lenses), holograms, virtual re
