I joined the lecture by Joichi Ito, a director of MIT Media Lab yesterday. It was meaningful enough to forget the passage of time. The most impressive story was what is going on in the world is connected the “loop”.
The ecosystem is the representative example of the loop. Solar energy raises plants, animals eat plants and plants turn oxigen into carbon dioxide emissions from animals.
Krebs cycle of creativity shows academic loop, that multiples science, engineering, art and design to create something new.
Mr. Ito said the emergence of the Internet had a huge impact in the history of evolution of life. Some loops change more complicate system. For example, block chain, IT, security, terrorism, environmental issue…
One of the keys to adapt to the transformation of the world is changing the education system. The important thing is not to keep learning to replace artificial intelligence but to create your own passion and excitement by intertwining four elements such as science, engineering, art and design. I would like to find such “waku waku” excitement and to support you so that you can find it.
