→ What We Discussed In This Episode:
By taking a different and comprehensive approach to technology applications, Mataracı provides insightful examples that tackle key questions such as "How can technology enhance the environment?" and "How can technology bring about global benefits?".
Our guest highlights the concept of "Society 5.0," which aims to deliver high-quality services to every member of society: "This is a technology-reinforced social transformation. When we look at it as a whole, this transformation serves as a tangible manifestation of technological solutions that address various societal concerns, including equal opportunities, environmental policies, clean energy, and inclusion." Mataracı makes us recall the definition of "Society 5.0" put forth by former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe: "This is the episode 5 of human history, where we are able to find solutions to previously unsolvable problems."
Illuminating the process of designing a world where technology serves social benefits, Mataracı emphasizes the importance of adopting a design-oriented mindset when progressing towards Society 5.0: "I advocate the necessity of prioritizing human experience and emotions as fundamental principles and ensuring that the impact of technological transformation is equally and fairly distributed among all members of society, thus highly contributing to the betterment of their lives."
