"I have never used a computer." - Japanese Cyber-Security Minister

                   The Japanese Cyber-Security minister shocked the Japanese public and the world by revealing that he had never used a computer since he was 25 years old when he became independent and started managing people according to Kyodo News Agency. He made the admission during a meeting with the committee of lawmakers when an opposition lawmaker queried about his computer literacy. A follow-up question regarding the use of USB flash drives at the country's nuclear power plants caused further frustration among lawmakers. The 68-year-old was appointed to the position last month. He will be overseeing the cyber-defense preparations for the 2020 Olympic Games that will be held in Tokyo.  The disclosure had some people respond with astonishment and some people on the internet saying at least Yoshitaka Sakurada would be truly hard to hack. I can only draw two conclusions from this; either he is a total genius or a complete lunatic.
