In order to overcome these problems and work toward a sustainable bright future, several efforts are underway to create a "smart society". These efforts are aimed at transforming lifestyles and social systems to provide people with safe, secure and comfortable living. This issue introduces various technologies OKI is contributing to make smart society a reality.
