  *Society 5.0
  A term by the Cabinet Office in "The 5th Science and Technology Basic Plan"
  It is a society that can be expected to facilitate human prosperity. Such a society is capable of providing the necessary goods and services to the people who need them at the required time and in just the right amount; a society that is able to respond precisely to a wide variety of social needs; a society in which all kinds of people can readily obtain high‐quality services, overcome differences of age, gender, region, and language, and live vigorous and comfortable lives.
  The naming describes a new type of society that will be led by innovations in science and technology, following on from hunter-gatherer, pastoral-agrarian, industrial and information.
