Strange Fact - Japan's new cyber-security minister has dumbfounded his country by saying he has never used a computer


"Since I was 25 years old and independent I have instructed my staff and secretaries. I have never used a computer in my life," he said, according to a translation by the Kyodo news agency.

His duties include overseeing cyber-defence preparations for the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo.
