■ Japanese telecommuting is the lowest level among major countries. Central government offices do not allow video conferencing. Online applications for Supplementary Income Payment caused chaos in local governments. Fax and manual collection of coronavirus infection information. "COVID-19 contact-tracing app" COCOA, which repeats troubles. Japanese labor productivity is 60% of that of the US. It is the lowest group of OECD countries. The usage rate of digital devices in Japanese classrooms is the lowest among OECD countries. It is considered dangerous and does not advance online medical care. ■ Through various events during the pandemic, the delay in digitalization was exposed to the white light. Why did this happen in Japan, which used to be the world's leading provider of online banking systems? ■ Why are seals and faxes always used? Why is the My Number Card useless? Why can't the centralized ID of financial institutions prevent accidents? Why is Google's shift over cookies important? Cloud, blockchain introduction, mechanisms open to the world, and public trust in government are essential? ■ In fact, the lack of IT adoption is closely related to the characteristics of Japanese-style organizations and Japanese society. The essential cause is that the basic structure of the Japanese economy after World War II (established in 1940) is not in harmony with IT, which is supported by values that emphasize individual freedom rather than collective benefit. This is the opposite of the values that have defined Japanese society since the high-growth period. Digitalization in this sense is to change the basic structure of Japanese society. Without such a thing, it will not be possible to achieve digitalization. The Digital Agency will not be able to achieve digitalization, but it will not be possible to achieve it. Without such a thing, it will not be possible to achieve digitalization. The key factors behind the significant delay in digitalization in both the public and private sectors and the lack of progress in "telework," "online education" and "online medical care" are clarified and point out the path to digitalization that protects individual freedom and privacy.
