Lecture Introduction

How do people create a boundary within themselves and they are captured by the boundary? What connects each person is the sensitivity that drives human creativity. Like the Earth looking out of space, there are no borders in the connection. The future world where you live will be asked for people who can think beyond the realm in any field. People try to know everything and never create a boundary for their intellectual curiosity. Migratory birds and animals in Africa moving to look for water do not have conscious borders. There is a border just for the arrogance of 'human thought' that creates a border. I sincerely think that humanity is about to graduate from the idea that it is a national border. The important thing is to see the world in a bird's-eye view, and to talk a lot. If there is a boundary within yourself, that boundary can be crossed by your creativity.     

In addition, I will introduce scientific educational contents for smartphones I designed, about "the history of life".
