According to the late Professor Masahiko Aoki, Japan is a midst of "moving 30 years," instead of ending "lost 20 years," since Japan is far ahead in the world in terms of the convenience and quality in urban life, and of equal opportunity. In the same token, I am suggesting that the Japanese technology is also in transition. The substantial technological progresses have been introduced in constructing the social infrastructure in Japan. The wide-spread utilization of RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) and of GPS (Global Positioning System) both in existing and newly built infrastructure are such examples. Therefore, we should make scientific investigation into what is going on in this context. By doing so, we can contribute on guiding the final phase of this 30 years-transition in a right trajectory.
