Japan's cybersecurity minister admits he has never used a computer

Japan's new cybersecurity minister has never used a computer and doesn't seem to know what a USB port is. The bizarre admission has prompted mockery in Japan and across the world, but newly appointed Yoshitaka Sakurada says that it is unlikely he will have to actually use a computer, despite being responsible for ensuring that the country's millions of devices are kept safe. Instead, cybersecurity policy is set by a large number of people and aides can type into the computer for him, he said. Mr Sakurada has been in parliament for 22 years but has not held such a senior position before, now finding himself responsible both for cybersecurity and the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
