The societal order destroyed by the Internet

 It has been 20 years since the Internet started becoming widespread. Recently, there have been a number of cases where it has caused damage to the "societal order".

  A number of teenagers in Fukuoka were prosecuted for "dueling". The junior high school students made a pact to fight it out via the social networking service LINE, and through LINE, about 100 spectators also gathered to watch the drama unfold.
 The crime of dueling was laid out in a law over 120 years ago, before the establishment of the penal code, and that law has rarely been applied until now. Digital media has managed to unearth the society of a century ago. It has become easier for insular communities to incite duels, and for them to gather spectators.

 There has also been an account of an increase in the number of "nameless" delinquent gangs, which do not possess group names. These are social delinquents that assemble and operate via Twitter and LINE. They do not wish to be bound by the rules of traditional gangs. They do not need leaders or an organization. They assemble and run whenever they want to do so. The digital world is promoting actions purely based on their own intentions to break the rules.

 Our individual existences have also become dependent on the Internet.
 According to the American online employment website CareerBuilder, 51% of employers have rejected job applications after looking at social media. More so than resumes and interviews, one's net history presents a more accurate view of a person. Building up an online persona has become a more powerful method than making an impression on real life interviews.

 Organizational and social structures and also going with the flow. Numerous closed communities have sprung up, and have become opaque from the outside. At the same time, they form connections with each other, collapse, and again transform into other communities. In the midst of this, the individualism accorded to each person has increased, but every person is remembered by the Internet, and is personally bound by it.
 These 20 years. The generation that was born into the Internet age has begun to emerge in society, and it seems that the union between what is real and what is virtual has already changed from a "revolution" to an "established fact".
