由于对谷歌(Google)和其它外国互联网服务在全球占据主导地位感到警惕，日本政府正在发起一个项目，试图争夺在电子设备新搜索技术方面的领先地位。 促使日本政府采取此举的原因是，日本人担心，该国日渐丧失其在消费电子产品领域的领先地位，而科技产业的价值正从硬件领域转向其它方面。 随着韩国和台湾电子公司生产出与日本主要品牌几乎相同的产品，日本政府担心，该国制造商在创新方面正落在后面。

Tokyo, alarmed by the global dominance of Google and other foreign internet services, is spearheading a project to try to seize the lead in new search technologies for electronic devices. The push has been sparked by concerns in Japan that the country's pre-eminence in consumer electronics has faded and value in the technology industry is moving away from hardware. As South Korean and Taiwanese electronics companies churn out products nearly identical to those of the Japanese majors, there are fears in Tokyo that the country's manufacturers are falling behind in innovation.
