Many people's anxieties are hard to settle in the new corona infection. In such a situation, human beings want to have a good time. Since ancient times, there have been some ideas for having fun in a crisis. In the midst of the plague, Boccaccio wrote the Decameron and sent fun to the world. It's also fun to get together and eat and drink. Providing a place to eat itself promotes solidarity and reconciliation. The mysterious charm of eating together is that when everyone eats, the meal feels more delicious. The production that was conceived by this corona excess will be an online drinking party. An acquaintance of mine also told me that he had an online drinking party with his friends in Tokyo. This online drinking party was lively, but it seems that he was still dissatisfied if something was missing. Certainly, conversations through a two-dimensional screen are different from everyday conversations.
Given the 7 million years of evolution of humankind, it is very recent that we have begun to speak the language. Words have been introduced to humankind for tens of thousands of years. Due to its short history, it is difficult to express yourself in words. In abstract words, there are some situations where the value cannot be conveyed. Communication has more than just words. There are two types of communication: verbal and non-verbal. Nonverbal communication is the ability to communicate outside of language. This nonverbal communication seems to focus on the ability to read facial expressions and the atmosphere of the place. The ability to read the other person's facial expressions has become an indispensable ability not only in romance but in all situations.
While manipulating words, humans have understood the feelings of the other person by reading the facial expressions and eye movements of the other person. Sometimes words alone cannot evaluate and understand the other person. Communication is a mutual understanding that takes into account not only words but also facial expressions and the movements of the other party. On a two-dimensional screen, it is not possible to capture the facial expression of the other party. If the 3D image is clearer, it may be possible to grasp each other's facial expressions. Social skills include so-called sophisticated manners and physical language, as well as conversation. It is a social skill to assert yourself well while considering the circumstances of the other party. It seems difficult to display these on the current online screen. However, if you have a sense of intimate solidarity, you can make up for the shortage of equipment. In short, it is necessary to acquire and become accustomed to IT equipment technology. Humans have been proficient in words and letters for thousands of years. Mastering online communication can take thousands of years in some respects. Even if it is not so much, it is necessary to get used to the operation and screen of IT equipment. If this habituation becomes commonplace, it has the potential to bring a wonderful culture beyond letters to humankind. I want to see such a wonderful world.
There are some universities that are preparing for face-to-face classes due to corona overruns. They are conducting online classes. There seems to be a problem at such a university. At one university, they conducted a questionnaire survey of more than 5,100 students and graduate students. Despite the registration ceremony, 53% of the respondents responded. Based on the questionnaire, we analyzed the contents of students' worries and lifestyles, and found that more than 10% of the students had moderate depressive symptoms. The loss of real learning opportunities cast a shadow over the hearts of young people. Many universities continue to teach online, and only a few friends actually meet after enrollment. At elementary, junior high and high schools, they did not receive online education in face-to-face classes. That was Corona, and they got an online education. They can see that the gap is confusing. Even if they hold an "online drinking party" with only the members they meet for the first time, the situation continues to be unexcited. If you have a sense of intimate solidarity, there will be many cases of excitement. However, the feeling of solidarity between new students has not yet been established. Once you get used to college life, you will be able to get used to classes and communicate as well as online drinking parties.
College students taking online lessons seem to be sloppy, listening to lessons as an extension of their daily routine, and not getting into the lessons. "Makeup" seems to be a hint to take such online lessons well. Makeup has the role of satisfying the present time of anxiety. By having a "theme" in makeup, it is said that you can enjoy yourself a little different every day. By enjoying a different self, one's mood will be refreshed and one day will be fulfilled. When you take a picture of your face with a smartphone camera, you can see the image of your favorite makeup. It seems that some companies propose custom-made makeup using the latest technology such as AI. The complacency, makeup techniques, and public attention that are tied online are hard to come by. There seems to be a way to overcome the feeling of being lazy toward class by pushing the overcoming of learning tasks to the fore.
As an aside, what is required of an entrepreneur is not the completeness of the work, but the newness. Entrepreneurs are increasingly challenged to create new things one after another. There is a trend that the quality of products is becoming less valuable. If there is no service after the first product is bought, the tide will start from there. There is a need for corporate activities that add more ideas to the products and services that are created. Products that have been completed from the beginning have a low reputation, and attention is focused on products that are initially unfinished but become more complete over time. Problems such as incomplete online classes at the university and inadequate communication are problems. However, in this harsh environment of corona, I hope that the unfinished large vessels will grow significantly by sharing ideas and wisdom to overcome this environment.
