I disagree with the statement that education will continue to decrease as technology improves. Let me elaborate on the three reasons that collectively underpin my position.

  First of all, society will be complicated as technology improves. For example, in the past information was exchanged by snail mail, whereas now it is done by fax and email, which require more knowledge to familiarize yourself with them. A couple of decades ago, we used phones only to talk, but these days, we use them not only to speak but also to send text, data files, and photos.

  Secondly, with the development of technology, international competition is increasing yearly. If we give up high education, we will lose the race between global industries. For example, now people in Japan have to use the Internet technology that has been made in the U.S. and is mostly dependent on it. Industries will need more highly educated young workers.

  Finally, throughout the long history of human beings, people are curious to learn and discover new things. In Japan, we had a high education system equivalent to a college about a thousand years ago. At that place, many young men studied old China literature, mathematics, and other advanced education compared to other countries.

   The reasons mentioned above obliged me to reiterate my position which supports the statement that high education will be needed in the future.
