This book deals with a topical issue relating to the use of
script in Japan, one which has the potential to reshape future
script policy through the mediation of both orthographic practices
and social relations. It tells the story of the impact of one of
the most significant technological breakthroughs in Japan in the
latter part of this century: the invention and rapid adoption of
word-processing technology capable of handling Japanese script in a
society where the nature of that script had previously mandated
handwriting as the norm. The ramifications of this technology in
both the business and personal spheres have been wide-ranging,
extending from changes to business practices, work profiles,
orthography and social attitudes to writing through to Japan's
ability to construct a substantial presence on the Internet in
recent years.
