-When did you meet your computer, which is the basis of your retirement? ■ Wakamiya "When I was 58, I bought a personal computer for the first time in 1993. I wanted to try" PC communication "like the current SNS that can only exchange text messages. Unlike bankers who have many people, it was fun to be able to interact with many strange people. I was able to fill the loneliness that I could not go out with my mother's care, and this should be spread to the senior generation. I thought "■ Furuichi" Unlike now, a computer in the 1990s was expensive and difficult. " In my case, I make clothes with "Excel Art", which applies Excel to the design pattern, make a smartphone app "HINADAN" at the age of 81, and be lucky to be helped by the familiar people each time. I was able to realize what I wanted to do. " That's why I don't care about "because I'm an elderly person", and I think you're sympathetic to the way you live in an interesting way. I don't plan to retire yet to meet that expectation. . Interesting things come out one after another, and what I want to do is not exhausted. " As you get older, it's fun to forget it little by little and you'll forget what you don't like, so it's fun (laughs). If you compare your life to baseball, you're still about twice in your twenties. Even if it's painful now. If you develop your power steadily, you may be praised from the world in eight tables.
