Foresight of my classmate
April 27, 2008 by littlewingpinball
It might be lucky that I lost the paradise. Being absorbed in one thing should be avoided for a junior high school boy.
Then my interest went back to semiconductor element, that is hardware. I did not touch keyboards until I entered the university. Main reason was because I didn’t have a computer though 
When I was a third grader of my high school, words of my classmate O made me decide the course to take after graduation.
“Hey Fujita, the processing speed of computer gets faster and faster. But then, do you know what happens next? —The era of data transmission will come.”
Honestly, I didn’t understand what he said very well. But, I felt a strange power in his words. I guess I didn’t apply The University of Electro-Communications without his words.
O entered the same university. His major was radio communication. As you now, radio communication is the neccesary technology for non-contact/mobile communications including mobile phone, digital braodcasting TV, wireless LAN, and FeliCa.
But, it was 7 years before the first cell phone in Japan was released from NTT docomo… I’m amazed how O had a lot of foresight. And grateful to it as well.
By the way, he entered a big Lab after graduating the university.
