Reflection to the module of Digital Business Models

Many encounters in the module

In this module, we have a lot of chances to meet with various technology. In class, we use the map app for the presentation of a smart city. And I could know the various digital technology from other student’s blogs and how other people use the current technology in a foreign country. Before the interaction with them, I don’t know how to use the technology by own country, Japan. I feel many Japanese around me are apt to avoid new technology because they would be comfortable to maintain current life and situation. As a result, they continue to use the same technology. However, I know, for example, that Chinese students usually use the cash-less system in their country and other foreign students also use the progressive App in their lives without hesitation

Importance of the trying of new information technology

By the experience in the module, I found the possibility of the technology. Even if in a developing country, they can change their future by technology such as connection to the Internet. It could expand a chance to develop their life. On the other hand, the technology could cause an unexpected problem such as tax avoidance, the privacy of individuals. We also need to think about these measures for the problem with the technology.

Interact with other users

Also, I have a lot of chances to receive some opinions from other students. All of the opinion has inspired me because I can get other perspectives that I cannot obtain by myself. And also, I could see some opinions that opposite to my thinking in the Future Learn. I have a similar situation in my work, to be honest, I felt it very noisy because it disrupts me to do my current job. However, I can find that the voice from another person is really helpful to promote my thinking and work. Now, I will be able to have different perspectives developed by other opinions.

Future

After graduate, I will return to my job, government official in Japan. The job needs to listen to the opinion of many stakeholders and colleagues. I proud of the experience in the module of the Digital Business Models and want to tackle a new job with the experiences.
