When I was young, I was a dreamer in that I believed I could change the world some day.
I guess it was a bit odd in Japan - but when I left Japan for the U.S. to be an exchange student, I was greeted with the sympathy and respect I wanted. At least from some.
Now that I'm older, I think I haven't changed the whole a lot in essence. But it seems that I have learned to adjust to the mainstreams of the world, mediocre notions and two PCs and cars at home.
I am not sure, however, whether my adjustment is good or bad.
I think it is necessary for any one of us to seek for what is best. I have always been a student of Art, Literature and Philosophy. That very pursuit led me to the world of business and Internet. Some of you may disagree but the most creative, innovative minds are now doing business or somehow involved in Internet industry.
Most importantly, there is much more to come in this genere - the next ten years we will observe more growth in this industry than the past decade, for the next to come is globalism - you know Internet penetration is like 600% annually in Africa?
Only the smart and privileged are online making use of this wonderful technology. Only those in metropolitan areas are fully rewarded through this innovation. Only developed countries are privileged in this technology. There has to be a way to help the boundaries disappear as well as to educate those ignored.
That is why Howdys, Inc. is going 'Local.'
