道具の使い方｜How to Use Tooks｜2021/06/14

現代社会にはいろいろと心配事が多い。「ＡIが人間の仕事を奪う」「カジノは人を堕落させる」「資本主義は限界に来ている」「GAFAが我々の生活を監視している」「スマホが人間関係を分断する」だからそれらを危険視したり、規制しようとする動きが出てくるのも当然だ。しかしそもともとは人が生み出した道具だ。使うと生活が便利になり豊かになるものだった。ただ刃物と同じで使い方によっては、逆の作用をうみだす凶器にもなる可能性もある。使う側の意識や倫理観がまず重要なのかもしれない。人任せ、モノ任せにするのではなく、ネガティブな要素も理解した上で人生をよりよくするために上手に使いこなせるようになりたい。（絵と文：サカキテツ朗） 

There are many worries in modern society. "AI robs humans of work," "Casinos corrupt people," "Capitalism is reaching its limits," "GAFA monitors our lives," and "Smartphones divide relationships." It is natural that there will be movements to regard the situation as dangerous and to regulate it. However, it was originally a tool created by humans. It made our lives more convenient and enriched. And it is the same as a knife, and depending on how it is used, it may become a weapon that produces the opposite effect. The consciousness and ethics of the user may be important first. I want to be able to use it well in order to improve my life after understanding the negative factors of not relying on other people and makers. -Text and illustration by Ted Sakaki
