Almost all days, news about some people attacked and killed by bears is reported. Even in some mountain areas of Osaka, those bears are seen nowadays.
I wonder the number of the victims by bears might be bigger than that by tigers in Malaysia.
この頃ほとんど毎日のように熊による被害のニュース、大阪近郊の山でも熊の目撃情報、もしかして日本の熊による犠牲者の数はマレーシアのトラやヒョウによる犠牲者より多いかも？
マレーシアで人がトラに襲われたというニュースはあまり聞いたことがない、日本はかなりの野生の王国!

This afternoon, I went to a painting exhibition. As for me, I don't paint any paintings at all but I like to see those oil pintings. One of my acquaintaces invited me to the exhibition. I was very happy that I could meet him there today.
More than 20 years ago, he invited me to an oil painting exhibition for the first time, since then appreciating oil paintings has been one of my hobbies. He lives near my former house and very kind to me. When I left there after living neary 60 years, he gave me his nice painting as a gift for the moving celebration.

Last night when we had dinner, we enjoyed on-line video chatting with our daughter living in Malaysia. Later on our granddaughter who lives near our house joined.
It’s incredible for me as if we were having dinner together at the same table thanks to the IT.
In fact, these technologies are advancing rapidly.
As for my wife and me, it’s quite difficult to catch up with these technologies.
To tell the truth, we couldn’t have even such an idea itself to do ‘online dinner party’ unless our daughter started. It is lucky for us to live in the society receiving the benefits of technological developments.
But on the other hand, many people are suffering from wars and poverty just same as before.
Can AI come up with a good idea to stop wars and poverty? I hope so.
昨夜は、マレーシアに住んでいる娘とオンライン夕食会をしました。後からは孫も交えて同じ食卓を囲んだように夕食のひと時を楽しめました。テクノロジーの進歩は早い、私達には遠く離れた外国とオンラインで夕食会を開くというアイデアすら浮かばない。まさにIT時代の恩恵を実感しました。
父母が知ればビックリするでしょうね。
でも世の中こんなに進んでも相変わらず戦争や貧困で苦しんでいる多くの人がいる事実。
AI に聞いたらベストの情報を教えてくれる時代です。AIが争いや貧困の解決策を提案するのは可能かな？ そうか、AIを使って戦争の仕方や兵器の開発をしているから、やっぱりAIを使う人間の心の問題ですね。
