The science and technology and digitalization of the 4th industry are becoming expanded into various areas such as artificial intelligence, robotics, Internet of Things, autonomous vehicles, 3D printing, nanotechnology, biotechnology, materials engineering, and energy storage technology, It is a moment toward a complete change. The development and digitization of such technology is dominant, with optimistic prospects that it can bring the unprecedented economic prosperity of humanity, which will affect the whole world economy. A series of groups have led the fourth industrial revolution to such an ambience, confident that the past agricultural revolution or the industrial revolution of the 17th century led to partial change or innovation, while the fourth industrial revolution would literally change everything. They appear to be convinced that this time is different as to the concern that some of the existing contradictions such as the gap between the rich and the poor and the human alienation will become worse as a result of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. But at this point we can not help asking whether the fourth industrial revolution is different from the previous revolution. Not only the Fourth Industrial Revolution but all the revolutions are the products of civilization. Human civilization, in contrast to nature, has two fundamentals. One is the logic of efficiency, which aims at low cost and high efficiency, and the logic of competition, which claims that competitiveness is useful while no competitiveness is useless. These two principles have been extensively pursued with the advent of modern and capitalist societies. In particular, the Fourth Industrial Revolution is moving toward maximizing efficiency and raising competition to the ultimate. After all, the technology that leads the fourth industrial revolution, bringing convenience and comfort of our physical life, such as Internet, Big Data, autonomous driving automobile, artificial intelligence, and robotics, is armed with the logic of efficiency and competition, But we are now facing the polarization of the rich and the poor in addition to the human alienation, while the gap between the rich and the poor since the pre-industrial revolution has not been improved at all. At the same time, there is a dark prediction that the contradictions can be further amplified in the Fourth Industrial Revolution. In such a situation, it is essential that, facing the convenient, comfortable, and efficient life and the materially comfortable and affluent life that are pursued by the 4th industrial technology, we constantly ask whether it is truly a happy life, and whether it maintains our own original and sound state. It is the role of Buddhism that makes people realize that if they do not question anything and look back at themselves profoundly, they might be subordinated to technology and become helpless slaves.
