  Well… Yeah. Everybody’s using their phones instead.

    I still own an electronic Japanese dictionary but haven’t used it in about 10 years. I have a dictionary app on my phone that I use nearly every day.

    About the only thing the electronic version still does better than any of the apps I’ve tried, surprisingly, is handwritten kanji recognition, I think perhaps because it comes with a little stylus that makes it more precise.

    Lots of old people in Japan. When I went I found an entire floor of a department store dedicated to brand new fax machines.

      Which is probably why they do still sell these dictionaries, just not nearly as many as they used to.
