(Introduction)
I can't explain it in 25 minutes.
The overarching explanation is abstract.
Some interesting topics.
Since this is a Cybozu sponsored session, explain why Cybozu is interested in, translating and sponsoring Plurality?
3 topics below, the first one is a good one to talk about since I did a lot of work on the Tokyo gubernatorial election.
Second, it seems like a good idea to shift to "What should the media be?"
Existing media, social media, -> pro-social?
The third, digital democracy, is also a hot topic
I can't introduce all of them, so I'll just pick and choose interesting topics.
The development of technology to duplicate and distribute information has made it easier for one person to communicate ideas to a large number of people.
However, when a large number of people transmit information, the volume of information received by one person becomes enormous, and the person drowns in the flood of information.
In a society and company where people actively communicate, technology that supports listening to the opinions of many will be important.

Figure from "[Not subjective or objective, but from the subjectivity of one to the subjectivity of many.
(Technological advances) enable "broad listening," where millions of people can hear the essence extracted from the distribution of opinions of their peers, enhancing democratic deliberation on a large scale.

In the past, the media were occupied by certain companies, such as newspapers and television stations, which controlled what was disseminated.
With the birth of social media, we now live in a world where anyone can transmit anything.
This is beneficial but also distorted by the fact that it is maintained by advertising revenue. It is designed to take more time away from the user because increasing "engagement" is profitable.
The new pro-social media will be nurtured naturally in such an environment and then marketed in a broader social context to other organizations interested in solidarity and dynamism. In "democracy," "indirect democracy" has been widely practiced, in which people elect "delegates" to debate on their behalf.
This was just an operation at a time when information processing technology was in its infancy. Better technology leads to better teamwork.
In the future, a wide variety of local governments will make a wide variety of attempts to "better communicate with their citizens.
The key to moving democracy forward is for teens and young people to come up with really good ideas and for them to be understood and implemented by the senior people in a shorter time. Younger people, being digital natives, do not believe that upload bandwidth once every four years is enough, and latency is too high. They prefer to collaborate on a daily basis. Opening up the agenda-setting authority to the people would return the people's approval or disapproval of each agenda to the people. Public officials no longer have exclusive ownership of agendas. ---
