“Ubiquitous” because ICT will permeate every aspect of our lives, incorporating items we would have never considered communication devices. The fundamental concept is that it will “Connect everyone and everything.”
Everyone, including the elderly and disabled, will be able to use ICT with ease. There will be a huge increase in friendly communication that transcends generation, distance, and language, enabling people friendly "heart-to-heart" contact.
Commerce involving product sales and services will shift from being provider-oriented to user-oriented, based on users’ viewpoints.
Stirrings of u-Japan
ICT will also transform society from one of uniformity and standardization to one that is creative and vigorous, and which strives to achieve more creative business approaches and services, as well as a new social system and values.
