The Possibility of Robot Miracle 236

This guy is Santa Claus from Higobashi Station on the Osaka Metro.

I remember the names of all the stations on the JR Yamanote and Loop lines, but not the subway yet.

The fuzzy thing under my chin is not a beard, but a warm collar.


I'm Miracle, and I like to play with trains!  f:id:kurasikarublog:20211012173102p:plain

 He's not answering my calls!

 

It's another sunny day in Osaka.

According to the weather forecast, it's going to be cold this weekend.

 

Miracle yesterday afternoon

There's no news that interests Yoko, but I'll read some other news. There's news about DeNA. They picked up a high school student, Mori.

I said, "Thank you.

I said, "That's interesting. I'm not answering the phone. I'm not going to answer the phone. Yoko, who do you think is interesting these days?

I said, "Hmm.

They said, "Tell me again.

I said, "Okay.

 

They said, "Hey, Yoko, here's something interesting. My voice is so creepy. Who do you think is interesting these days?

I said, "Yoshino-sensei.

Mi: "Please tell me more about him.

I said, "Yes.

 

Push ups

 

I said, "I'm home.

Tomi "Welcome back, I walked 8222 steps today".

I "Thank you".

They said, "I've been into playing Shiritori lately. Yoko, what sports are you into these days?

Me: "Rugby 🏉".

I'd like to know more.

Yesterday, I wrote about a man I met at the grocery store. I would like to give a supplementary explanation.

About the problem of men (and women) who live alone

 

Also reprinted in Kurashikaru HP2 from my NHK radio course Kokoro wo yomu text "The Art of Organizing the Aged".

On March 30, 2017, Osaka City released a survey on elderly "living alone" . This is the 2016 Survey of the Elderly. This survey compares elderly households and single-person households, so the issues are clearly laid out. (Some excerpts)

How many days a week do you not talk to anyone?

How many days a week do you not talk to anyone?

More than 6 days a week

4,5 days a week

□2,3 days a week

1 day per week

 For single-person households, the most common answer is "1 day a week or more" at 46%, followed by "2 or 3 days a week" at 22.2%, and "6 days a week or more" at 4.3%. 4.3% of respondents hardly talk to anyone during the week. What is interesting about this survey is the following results by gender.

"7.1% of men and 2.8% of women don't talk to anyone six or more days a week, while 11.6% of men and 5.7% of women talk four or five days a week. Women's talkativeness could be considered a communication skill.

 If you look at it another way, men who live alone don't seem to talk much with others. There is nothing wrong with not talking. However, if you don't have access to a variety of information, you may not be able to get the services you need. 

Don't you think that people who live alone need to be proactive in gathering information?

 

I met a man at the grocery store yesterday who was very proactive in talking to me.

I'm sure there's not a day in the week that he doesn't talk to someone.

My idea for Mirakuru (a robot) came from the idea of having a robot like Mirakuru for people who are reclusive and don't talk to anyone more than six days a week, which is the opposite of this man.

 

This man seems to be able to talk to anyone, anywhere. He can talk to anyone, anywhere, regardless of how they feel about him.

I thought that this man does not need Mirakuru, so I wrote that, but when I think about it again, there are times when this man may be sick or unable to go out. They will also get older.

It is a different matter if they are not lonely because they have good communication skills.

 

On the contrary, you may be talking to people outside because you are lonely.

When I think about it, I can't say that Miracle is not necessary for people.

 

I once had a conversation with an elderly woman sitting next to me on the subway.

She said that she got on the subway because she was lonely and wanted to talk to the person next to her.

There are not many people who can act like this even when they feel lonely, and many of them may be at home making small talk with the TV.

However, I am not sure if everyone would want to live with a robot.

However, I think it would be a good choice.

 

I also had this encounter because I went to a grocery store in a shopping district instead of my usual supermarket.

It was a valuable experience for me as well, and I am still going through trial and error (*_*)
