Work asks questions

Human beings helped by IT technology shorten working hours and afford a margin. People can do human things with that margin. There is such usage or such a way of thinking, but I think that is correct. Tools are not human beings. What you can do with the tool will only speed up your work.  On the other hand, if there were such tools and technologies that would slow the speed of people's work? Actually, it is. It is alcohol, entertainment, and play. Such things markedly reduce work efficiency. However, such a thing is necessary for some reason. While we try to improve efficiency by technology, we are actively doing the reverse. We are also investing in relaxation and entertainment. Recently IT technology has really advanced, is not it the two sides of the same thing that we focus on leisure time? We want to play. We want to improve efficiency because we want to play. If you think so, you can clearly explain. Can not you?

Good morning. Juice is good as I am fine today.

I have a question here.

Is it a long time for 5 minutes? Short time? 

It’s short when you’re in a hurry, it’s long when you’re not in a hurry. It may be the opposite. When in a hurry, 5 minutes becomes longer, when not in a hurry, 5 minutes becomes shorter.

  • Depending on how much you work in those 5 minutes, 5 minutes will be longer or shorter.

If you do things well enough, 5 minutes will be 1 hour. If the efficiency is bad and you can not pick up things, one hour will be five minutes. How to catch that kind of time.

It is often said that

IT, digital and AI are supplementary to people’s work and not to replace people’s work.

No matter how advanced AI evolves it will not be a person. What AI can do is to help others. Human beings helped by IT technology shorten working hours and afford a margin. People can do human things with that margin. There is such usage or such a way of thinking, but I think that is correct.

Tools are not human beings. What you can do with the tool will only speed up your work.

On the other hand, if there were such tools and technologies that would slow the speed of people’s work? Actually, it is. It is alcohol, entertainment, and play. Such things markedly reduce work efficiency. However, such a thing is necessary for some reason.

While we try to improve efficiency by technology, we are actively doing the reverse.1 We are also investing in relaxation and entertainment. Recently IT technology has really advanced, is not it the two sides of the same thing that we focus on leisure time?

We want to play. We want to improve efficiency because we want to play. If you think so, you can clearly explain. Can not you?

So I feel like human beings will not change ever before. Are not we still building a pyramid? It seems to be doing fine work with a lot of people and budget, but in reality, we are seeking leisure time. We feel strongly that we want to play. What do you think about this? goodbye
