The progress of modern scientific technology can be expressed by the digitalization of analog information. We now understand how the progress of digital technology influences human beings and thus, the world. However, we must, at the same time, also consider critically this progress and the possible negative influence created.
The purpose of this study was to clarify the influences of the body during childhood, a vital time for development of “physical sense, ” from the digitalization of analog information.
The results are summarized as follows:
1) Ourselves are formed and accumulate a wide variety of personal experiences as a result of being, without interruption, in our natural environment. However, the injection of an intermittent flow of information into our environment has greatly influenced this “being.” This changing environment especially influences our childhood, when we begin to develop our self-determined physical senses and movement skills. The movement skills provide a base for our later physical activities.
2) In order to cope with our changing environment, we must once again allow ourselves to play in the spatio-temporal continuum. In this “play, ” our minds and bodies are in harmony with the natural environment. Considering this, it is of the upmost importance for us to play during childhood.
Digitalization reduces the noise from information transfer. However, we need to have a new understanding that in building such an efficient social system we may also be causing ourselves to miss essential information.
