“Mobile phones：have they evolved only in convenience?”

Representative Director, Masako Nishikawa

It is what we see everyday but around priority seats on trains we are usually instructed, “Please turn off your mobile phone.” Occasionally I take the train to work, and along one row of seats are two or three people chattering away on their mobile phone as if they had agreed upon it in advance. After they are warned by the train conductor they stop with a sulky attitude. Yet being unable to warn them myself after watching them makes me pathetic, too.

Is there a mobile phone out there that can help me overcome such weaknesses? In an industry with an intensifying competitiveness, there is no limit to the pursuit of multifunctionability and convenience. Where once computers became smaller, lighter and thinner, several years after they were said to have become like wristwatches, mobile phones are attempting to achieving just that.

In relation to this is the following suggestion: “The addition of new functions is one thing, but please create a mobile phone that falls to pieces when someone tries using it near priority seating.” This is brilliant. It is the same idea as a car not starting up when it senses its driver is under the influence.

With cars, I get the feeling that this would stir up the hornet's nest on the part of drivers who say, “It's stupid to have to go that far.” With the dramatic development and production of mobile phones however, I think that a time will come for a turning point.

To develop something requires time. Make the effort, wait for it to ferment, and watch over it silently. At a time when active and aggressive expressions are supported, by taking the plunge and using and acknowledging wasted time might be the most active way of living.
