any technology or artifact) ENHANCES . . . What does the medium enhance? OBSOLESCES . . . What does the medium make obsolete? RETRIEVES . . . What does the medium retrieve that had been made obsolete earlier? REVERSES . . . What does the medium reverse or flip into when pushed to extremes? – McLuhan, “Laws of Media” Questions that can be asked of any media What are the side effects of the media on people and society? Especially, when a new medium (M1) appears, it would obsolesces some existing medium (M2) that has obsolesced some other medium (M3), so that M3 would be retrieved by M1, as M2 is now becoming obsolete Lecture 3-4 : Internet Technology and Governance — FinTech — Financial Innovation and the Internet 2024 Fall — 2024-10-11 – p.8/72
investment Specialization, agricultural/industrial society Inequality, exploitation and bankruptcy Bullshit jobs Digital currencies, FinTech and beyond ENH REV RET OBS Control and obedience, hierarchy Maximization of profits Moneyless credit system Gift economy Generailzation (of skills), hunter-gatherer society New medium “retrieves” what was previously made “obsolete” Will “gift economy”, “generalization (of skills)” and “hunter-gatherer society” really be retrieved? Lecture 3-4 : Internet Technology and Governance — FinTech — Financial Innovation and the Internet 2024 Fall — 2024-10-11 – p.9/72
of interest among various powers and groups Example : Can a digital currency platform retrieve the stolen digital coins? If yes and it can enforce the law, it is like Judiciary Who decides which action is a crime, who corrects it, who punishes whom? If no and “Code is Law” (stealing was allowed by somewhat buggy code), then Legislation Program code determines the order among people In any case, admins take the role of, well, Administration Order can even be automated with individuals acting according to the rules of an App After the time when the nation separated the legislative, administrative and judicial powers (to avoid large concentrations of authority) . . . We are now living at the turning point of society Lecture 3-4 : Internet Technology and Governance — FinTech — Financial Innovation and the Internet 2024 Fall — 2024-10-11 – p.10/72

And academia, of course Interface with “apparatus” is transformed into a dialogue with the automated system “Computer, tea, Earl Grey, hot.” Lecture 3-4 : Internet Technology and Governance — FinTech — Financial Innovation and the Internet 2024 Fall — 2024-10-11 – p.11/72
money → Money will soon disappear from our view Different kinds of money, coupons, and point systems can operate behind the scenes Lecture 3-4 : Internet Technology and Governance — FinTech — Financial Innovation and the Internet 2024 Fall — 2024-10-11 – p.12/72
like Bitcoin Digitization of the national currencies (“digital JPY” in Japan) MUFG Coin, J-Coin Pay, S Coin, Ginko Pay (OEM) Attempts by communities (e.g. Zen, DCJPY) Attempts by central banks (CBDC : Central Bank Digital Currency) Local currencies, “Cause-Oriented Economy” Beginning of world where a variety of digital currencies are used (◦◦Pay, . . . ) The complexity is not going to be in our minds; we only clarify our policies If we would like to keep Amazon-Go-style experiences Then we don’t even know if it is money that is moving behind the scenes The sharing economy comes in there ⇒ Decline of the monetary economy!

(by the gap between rich and poor) → Sharing economy emerges (which is ultimate form of FinTech) (why?) Lifestyle that operates without specialization (thanks in part to AI and DigiFab) → The degeneracy of economic activities to be taxed Changes in the way the public is served ← Opportunity for us → At that point, money is already declining (disturbance for PO/GO and expansion of NPO/NGO concepts) By advancing the principle of the monetary economy, conversely, accommodation solutions that do not require money are selected, and money rather disappears from the front view → The ideas of “employment” and “separation of buying and selling” collapse “Rulers” do not exist any longer; “consumers” do not exist any longer Specifically, what kind of society is it? → Consider with SciFi prototyping Lecture 3-4 : Internet Technology and Governance — FinTech — Financial Innovation and the Internet 2024 Fall — 2024-10-11 – p.14/72

and prepare tools, challenge, take, share × PDCA cycle (agricultural and industrial people’s style) PDCA : Plan, Do, Check, Action OODA loop (hunter-gatherer’s style) OODA : Observe, Orient, Decide, Act Money doesn’t fit in there The key is how technology can create an “abundant resources” situation “Accommodation” is becoming increasingly important in our society Lecture 3-4 : Internet Technology and Governance — FinTech — Financial Innovation and the Internet 2024 Fall — 2024-10-11 – p.16/72
of the Internet Write a bulleted list of what the Internet “enhances”, makes “obsolete”, “retrieves” and what it “reverses” into (2) Based on the tetrad you drew, briefly describe how the Internet affects finance Please be concise in plain text (no picture, no table) Deadline and how to submit October 8, 2024 at 17:59 JST From Moodle (mandatory) Optionally, you can also post to #assignments channel at Discord So that people can comment on your reports and start discussions more easily Lecture 3-4 : Internet Technology and Governance — FinTech — Financial Innovation and the Internet 2024 Fall — 2024-10-11 – p.19/72
Measures . . . how to improve the class 24 replies out of 32 students (as of Thursday morning; better late than never) If you don’t see your listed items in the big aggregated tetrad we will see shortly although you thought they were original, did you by any chance submit using image (or PDF/PPT) instead of text so that they cannot be copied and pasted easily? (Just text, please) At Discord, too, please consider sharing by plain-text, as sharing by PDF/PPT means that we have to download your reports and manage files Effects on finance may be a little too conventional (albeit they are good) Considering effects in terms of ENH/OBS/RET/REV is nice There is something there that can be explored more deeply, especially in RET and REV But normally, what everyone knows is 20 years behind (Drucker, 1990) RET and REV seemed difficult to think about (you did pretty good on RET, though) RET in this case : what was made “obsolete” primarily by TV, printing or physical space REV in this case : similar effects as those of TV, printing or physical space Lecture 3-4 : Internet Technology and Governance — FinTech — Financial Innovation and the Internet 2024 Fall — 2024-10-11 – p.20/72

more people can access the financial world through the internet as there is a better accessibility of information Moreover, increasing financial literacy can be achieved as more people can read into freely accessible resources to better understand financial products Makes obsolete: No physical bank branches are necessary anymore, as one can conduct one’s banking business online Additionally, sending and receiving money does not require paper anymore Retrieves: Peer-to-peer lending might be retrieved if there is no financial intermediary anymore However, one must have access to the internet to access this This is comparable to going to a church or lecture to access information Reverses: the internet and robotic investments can lead to extreme volatility as it is unknown how the capital market functions when only algorithms and programs trade Decentralized structures can lead to less security and eventually to instability ⇒ I think it’s a nice overview Lecture 3-4 : Internet Technology and Governance — FinTech — Financial Innovation and the Internet 2024 Fall — 2024-10-11 – p.23/72
global, real-time financial transactions, leading to the widespread adoption of services such as online banking and digital payments Consequently, traditional financial practices, including in-person banking and physical record-keeping, have become largely outdated Simultaneously, the Internet revives older forms of peer-to-peer financial interactions, exemplified by barter-like exchanges and community-driven lending, through platforms like crowdfunding and peer-to-peer lending Nevertheless, as this digital evolution progresses, it brings forth new challenges, including heightened risks of cyberattacks, concerns regarding privacy, and the increasing influence of technology giants that centralize financial authority While this transformation has enhanced the efficiency and inclusivity of finance, it has also introduced significant security and equity issues ⇒ Some more good points are made about side effects Lecture 3-4 : Internet Technology and Governance — FinTech — Financial Innovation and the Internet 2024 Fall — 2024-10-11 – p.24/72
the Internet on finance? Let’s discuss in small groups First, look at the tetrad you made collectively, see if blue, black and gray classification is right and if there are more effects of the Internet Then discuss side effects of the Internet to finance It will help to look primarily at RET (retrieval) and REV (reversal) Lecture 3-4 : Internet Technology and Governance — FinTech — Financial Innovation and the Internet 2024 Fall — 2024-10-11 – p.25/72

base Put everything in a USB flash drive, put everything on the web “Put anything on it” is the whole idea of USB (Universal Serial Bus) to begin with Do you know what bus is? Improvement of transmission quality → No degradation of information Degradation occurs during sampling and quantization, but does not occur after that Concealment or proof of communication → Encryption or digital signature Public key cryptography (we will have a chance to take a deeper look at it in later class) More efficient transmission → Packet communication, compression One single physical communication medium shared by multiple uses at the same time Lecture 3-4 : Internet Technology and Governance — FinTech — Financial Innovation and the Internet 2024 Fall — 2024-10-11 – p.28/72

Keio Univ. Two among the best private universities in Japan These two universities are known for their rivalry and matches in baseball and other sports known as “ ” (first characters of Waseda, Keio and match), although Keio students would often call it “ ” ;) For undergraduates, classes may have to be cancelled for students to go cheer on the baseball team Story The head of the Keio cheerleading squad sends a letter of challenge in the form of a traditional scroll to the head of Waseda’s cheerleading squad It is a very long scroll that has to be untied from Keio’s Mita campus, slipped into Mita Station on the Mita Line, and then slipped out from Waseda Station on the Tozai Line to reach the Waseda campus so that the head of Waseda’s cheerleading squad can read it This is a metaphor of stream communication over the Internet as we do it via Zoom at the class Two ways TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) . . . Don’t miss reading every word of it (e.g. browsing a web page) UDP (User Datagram Protocol) . . . Well, it’s a long scroll, and it’s okay if it’s missing parts (e.g. Zoom) Lecture 3-4 : Internet Technology and Governance — FinTech — Financial Innovation and the Internet 2024 Fall — 2024-10-11 – p.47/72
way, inside the entrance of Mita Station, there is a photocopier, which copies just part of the scroll at a time, and students pass through the ticket gate with one fragment each in their hand Each fragment is sequentially numbered from the top of the scroll Students are not familiar with the railway network, and when they ask the station staff how to get to Waseda, they are told to go to Otemachi, so they do Students ask again at Otemachi Station (router), and are told to change to the Tozai Line When they arrive at Waseda Station, a student operates a scanner/printer before the exit, scanning the fragments in numerical order and outputting a long scroll on the printer, and students pull it to the Waseda campus Now, some students may get lost on the way What would you do? Lecture 3-4 : Internet Technology and Governance — FinTech — Financial Innovation and the Internet 2024 Fall — 2024-10-11 – p.48/72
TCP Students pick up their receipts (with fragment #) at Waseda Station and take them back to Mita Station At Mita Station, if a receipt is not returned, it is assumed that the fragment was not delivered, and another student is sent out with the fragment UDP Why do we care if some students get lost? (They are grown up, and we are certain that they will make it to their home) Lecture 3-4 : Internet Technology and Governance — FinTech — Financial Innovation and the Internet 2024 Fall — 2024-10-11 – p.49/72

can write IP? How fast can a router get? If it is not simple, it won’t work If it is not simple, it will be slow It is really important to make it simple and easy Smarter design, such as variable-length address instead of fixed-length, would have slowed down development of the Internet if it were chosen IPv4 uses fixed 32-bit IP addresses 10 bit can express approximately 1,000 numbers So, 32 bit can express approximately 1,000×1,000×1,000×4 = 4 billion numbers IPv6 uses fixed 128-bit IP addresses 128 bit can express approximately 1,000×1,000×1,000×1,000 .. . Approximately 256 . . . actually, 340 ×1036 numbers Lecture 3-4 : Internet Technology and Governance — FinTech — Financial Innovation and the Internet 2024 Fall — 2024-10-11 – p.56/72

the next topic For example, at the time Assignment 1 was given, if you had not known in advance what you have seen today, you would have answered without knowing much about the Internet This time, you may not know what APIs are Look them up on the web or something But for example, they are what your smart phone apps are using when they need functionality from remote entities (like banks) Lecture 3-4 : Internet Technology and Governance — FinTech — Financial Innovation and the Internet 2024 Fall — 2024-10-11 – p.70/72
