Hiroko Nohara, the famous writer of "Women Seven", "Oba Reporter", compares it with her own daily life and throws out her free-spirited opinions on the things that are worrisome in the world. This time, I would like to talk about the Apple Watch that Oba recently purchased.

*　*　*Isn't one out of 10 people saying "I bought an Apple Watch Series 7!" It usually ends with "heh". "There are people who see my triumphant face and ask me, "Is it expensive?" So, when I said, “56,000 yen. I've been waiting! And, from here on, it's my monopoly. “This is a branch office with a smart phone wrapped around your wrist,” he says, explaining how this clock-shaped device can help maintain health. "Even so, it's time." People who used to be stubborn are now saying, "It's time to switch to smartphones." Many people have said that the world will change greatly due to the corona wreck, and I think that's true. I don't know if there is such a thing as the age of home appliances, but I was conscious of it when I returned to my hometown of Ibaraki and took care of my 93-year-old mother at home. Even though the scenery I see in Ibaraki and Tokyo is completely different, I was able to continue my work as a writer by using my smartphone. It's amazing when you think about it. My mother's friend who saw it (naturally, born in the early Showa era), Nko, was impressed, saying, ``I can do that now,'' but from my point of view, that person understood the remote society. I was surprised. Come to think of it, the "age of home appliances" and the actual age are not necessarily the same. Nko-san has been using a fully automatic washing machine for 20 years, and her humming song is Arashi's number, so she's not an average elderly person. On the other hand, my mother's washing machine has two tanks! "When I asked him why, he said that washing where you can't see the water flow isn't washing." Are you unable to change your habits, or do you want to? Speaking of the age of home appliances, just the other day, my childhood friend E-ko said, "Is Roomba really that convenient?" At her house, she had a dog and a cat, and until then she had been vacuuming many times from morning to night, but her daughter in her 30s who gave birth at home bought a robot vacuum cleaner, Roomba. I changed my habits all at once. Now, watching Roomba is so much fun. Your daughter has great power.
