The Meaning of Keitai by Prof. Kenji Kohiyama
In brief, the families in which the house space, up until now, played a large part in family bonding are now starting to bond outside of the household. As a result, there is a possibility that due to the keitai causing strengthened emotional ties among the family that this will creep into other social relationships and bring about an “age of the family.” This means in comparison with the past where from the time one left the house to the time one returned there was no contact with the family, now the networking with the family is maintained at the workplace or at school and as a result, the family relationship is infiltrating the society. From examples such as these it has been concluded that most likely the “age of the family” and the “age of the absence of the family” are going to move forward in parallel fashion. In any age there are families that have strong family bonds and there are families with weak family relationships, however the keitai will speed up this dichotomy and the strong families will influence even the society around them and the weak families will become weaker.
