The expulsion of the evil spirit? .. Inexpensive!

In the ancient Shinto temple of Kanda Myojin (Kanda Myojin), rituals of expulsion of evil spirits from laptops, blessings of various gadgets and even blogs have been held for a long time. On the temple veranda, you can see the touching prayers written on the tablets, with requests to protect against malware and hard drive damage.

Kanda Myojin is located almost in the center of Tokyo, not far from the “computer paradise” for local geeks - the Akihabara quarter. In the “Valley of Autumn Leaves” (as translated by “Akihabara”), something interesting is constantly happening: for a penny they sell a new modification of the phone with a built-in speech recognizer, video chat and mind reading, or the pink-haired Tokyo youths are noisily mastering the new gaming machine ... that Let alone talk about prices! .. Mice and radio cards cost a penny here and are sold literally by weight, while robots eat right from the hands.

Most likely it is this neighborhood, as well as the pervasive confusion of past and present, characteristic of the Japanese, and explains the appearance of such a strange ritual in the capital of one of the most technically developed countries in the world.
