Posted in: High-tech Tokyo tops list of world's most innovative cities See in context
I'm 100% pure Japanese and yes, we might have such "high-tech" but the thing is, they haven't become common yet.
We need to use cash because some stores don't have a machine that accept credit cards, send documents by a Fax machine, because it is still "the most common way" for most of companies, buy real books to read (I think many of us don't use kindle yet). When moving, or starting business, we go to a city office to submit a document by a paper with a seal or a signature.
I feel Japan is a country that hesitates to change, keep up with innovations, and find comfortable in direct, face-to-face communication through the way of analogue style.
