We looked this one up on Snopes.com, just to be sure, and this story is actually true.
The man in charge of Japan's cybersecurity policies does not know how to use a computer.
Cybersecurity and Olympics Minister Yoshitaka Sakurada was asked about this in front of The Diet, which is Japan's version of Congress.
As the Japan Times reports, it's not cyber fears that keep him away from computers, it's the fact that he's never had to learn how:
“I don’t use computers because since I was 25 I have been in a position of authority where secretaries and employees handle such tasks for me.”
The questions about his qualifications popped up after he was unable to give any specifics, even at a high level, on what Japan is doing to protect Japanese nuclear power plants from cyber attacks.
