Comment on Japan using generative AI less than other countries

We use pencils, pens and writing paper still.
It wasn’t an option to have a “new and better” writing paper synchronizing all our records with some vault authoritative people have before. Now it is. Japan apparently has passed the test of people_not_ trying to move everything to that honeypot.
All hail Japan, can they please conquer us? Technically I live in a nearby country, except, eh, Moscow is kinda far from the far east …

Weeeell… floppies have more downsides that upsides and could’ve been replaced ages ago (along with implementing backup policies). They could’ve at least migrated to data MiniDiscs. 😁
Faxes from what I’ve heard were mostly because back in the day it was easier to write Japanese on a paper and fax it… in the age of Unicode, fax-to-mail and alike… dunno, maybe.
I generally agree though, no point in adopting new stuff just because.

Fax is an analog system that can be built without very complex production lines in place, that’s a good enough reason.

Have you heard if this thing called a mobile phone?

Yes, that thing can’t
. I want to live in a free and humanist world, which means that such technologies are more valuable.
