From
an “e-Japan Strategy” to an “e-Japanese Strategy”
—Seeking an Affluent Lifestyle with IT—

The
government’s “e-Japan Strategy” aims to transform
Japan into an advanced IT nation by 2005 and thus enable all
citizens to lead affluent lives. With respect to this strategy,
the Promoting Information Economy and Society Committee calls
for urgent attention to be paid to eliminate the digital divide
separating the different levels of society from each other
and to foster information-literate people (referred to as
“e-Japanese” in this proposal) in a society where
everyone has access to the Internet society.
From this standpoint, the committee emphasizes the primary
importance of creating networks and promoting a national movement
for the emergence of “e-Japanese” who have the capacity
to participate in an IT society. Having established 2004 as
“e-Japanese promotion year,” it calls on the public
and private sectors to collaborate in launching a national
movement for promoting “e-Japanese” policies. |
