The COVID-19 pandemic caused unexpected changes in our environment, forcing every person and organization to respond at every level. The urgent problem for the society is to rebuild the social systems so as to respond to rapidly changing environments quickly and flexibly. In this paper, we argue that people need to share the values of the digital society, and explain the digital mechanisms that foster freedom and creativity and are resistant to change, focusing on the role of the architecture and culture of the Internet. Then, we consider how to incorporate the merits of digital towards the digital society. The most important role of digital technology with and after COVID-19 is to provide a foundation for the healthy development of Japanese society.
