We are living in the computer age, in a world increasingly designed and engineered by computer programmers and software designers, by people who call themselves hackers.

Your phone has turned into a computer. So has your camera. Soon your TV will. Your car was not only designed on computers, but has more processing power in it than a room-sized mainframe did in 1970.

どうも、ヒラカワです。 質問をいただきました。 ＜質問＞ 「いつも内田 樹さんと平川克美さんのメルマガを楽しく拝見させてもらっています。僕は38歳になる非正規労働者です。仕事は最低賃金に近く、給料は10万円前後。体調を崩したりすると、時給制なので月に10万にも満たない給料になります。自分一人が食べていくのが精一杯な状況です。 そこで質問なのですが、僕らの親の年代は65歳と、ほぼ団塊の世代だと思います。つまり、僕らは団塊ジュニア。まさに、第二次ベビーブームと呼ばれた世代。そんな僕らが今30代後半です。就職は氷河期でした。仕事もなかなか見つけられませんでした。世の中的に言うと、僕らのような団塊ジュニアの世代が、30代後半、40代と、まさに時代を担う(？)世代のはずなのですが、なんだか僕を含めて、幼い気がしてしまうのです。アニメ世代とも言えるのでしょうか……。短絡的な人（反知性的というのでしょうか）が多いように思い、今の政治や経済の状況を鑑みても、暗澹たる気持ちになります。(本文より))内田樹&平川克美の「大人の条件」はこちらから→http://yakan-hiko.com/uchida.html
