Taking computers as an example, the things created by humans continue to evolve year by year. Whether it's memory storage capacity, processing speed, or operating clock frequency. There was a time when it was said that the exposure width of semiconductors had hit a limit at the nanometer scale due to the constraints of light, but through various innovations, it continues to evolve. Clock frequencies were also said to be reaching a point where anything higher would turn into radio waves, but we have overcome that and further advancements in multiplexing technology are ongoing. On the other hand, what about the capacity of the human brain? I am not a neuroscientist, nor do I have any expertise in human biology, so I do not know the answer. Looking at myself, I find that thanks to mobile phones and smartphones, I no longer memorize phone numbers, and thanks to navigation systems, I no longer memorize maps. Is it possible that as generations change, our capacity is also increasing? I don't really notice improvements in human performance, so I don't seek to be "broad and deep." People who are "broad" and those who are "deep" are both needed separately, and we work daily to produce a single outcome through "team play." Unfortunately, this column will end without a clear conclusion. *News is distributed through our company's newsletter.
