Been thinking about this one for awhile now: how far behind/ahead is JPN with respect to the Internet/Mobile Internet compared with the rest of the world?
Lots of great companies here in Japan. I am sure there are many young start-ups out there trying to break into the 'bigs' but, need some nice private funding to get them to the next level. Will the DPJ (whom I believe will form the next government) step up and help? Or will the DPJ continue to live in the past (the glory years of Japan's global economic power? Or will the DPJ look towards high-tech and new industries to propel JPN back to double-digit growth years?
There is no denying that Japan is doing well in the mobile Internet space. But, I would like to see much more from the players in this space. Creation of knowledge. Storage. Retrieval. Dissemination. Refinement. Acceptance. Recycling.
The next generation of Intenet users will use computers and mobile devices in a way much different than how we use them today. Knowledge is the key.
Ecommerce will change greatly. Will the future youth spend as much money as we do yearly on the consumption of goods? Or will they spend money on the acquisition of knowledge?
I for one plan on getting my son in front of a computer very soon.
