I worked on a job rolling out a virtual ISP service for a bluechip telecoms company around 15 years ago.
The project manager was in his fifties and had not only never used a website, he had never touched a keyboard or mouse.
That was secretarial (female) work.
The three things he did in his job was to dictate documents, have meetings and cause utter chaos.
Do you suppose that there is really a Japanese minister today that has never used a computer? A smart phone? A microwave? A TV? An MP3 player? A network-connected device?
They probably use a computer to enter their home or office. Their desk phone is probably a computer. Their car radio is a computer.
It would be quite a challenge to find a living person in Japan today who has not used a computer. I suppose nothing is impossible, but some claims are so hyperbolic as to be ignored.
