With the spread of technology, many people have become able to live alone without relying on the people around them. In this research, we named this phenomenon "Self-Reliance by Technology". This phenomenon is considered to be a major trend facing co-creation in service design of various fields. In order to advance understanding and explanation of this phenomenon, We conducted experiments and analyzes in particular on choice behavior. As a result, we discovered about the process that "Self-Reliance by Technology" occurs and the problems that cause.
