Japan is soooo technologically advanced

>have simple and reliable tech
>trade it for trendy, hackable, and unreliable trash tech for no reason
What's wrong with any of those?
New tech is cancer.

General difference in business culture between USA and Japan is that USA managers tend towards desiring innovation and revolution, while Japan managers tend towards incremental improvement of existing structures. The same applies to tech, I'd imagine.

Makes my little weeaboo heart ache to live in glorious nippon.

They must hate Windows ME10. What trash that dumpaterfire is.

they don't actually use that. Every jap has an iPhone and businesses are mostly email like everywhere else.

when saying "if it's not broke, don't fix it", people forget that there's also a balance between not changing and improving

I mean, horse carriages worked, so why ever replace them?

Like all things in life, balance is key.

this, god bless japan, truly the master race

>and that's a good thing!

Maybe they know something we don't?

Except phone manufacturers still make flip-phones for the japshit market. ofc they're modern and run full android but they're still flip-phones.

It's called "hentai" and it's art.

You're forgetting the level of change as well, idiot.
>durr muh carriages
And cars improved speed by 400℅ and trucks improved hauling capacity 1000%. An old keypad and a new touchscreen still get you a train ticket in 15 seconds.

They still run the shinkansen 700 which is a 20 years old high speed train. Imagine how many memes american public would make for such old train.

But fax machines are a crime against humanity.

I live in Boston. Our trains are from the 70s or 80s, and I'm pretty sure the rest of the US (except maybe DC or NYC) is even worse.

You'vr never even been around Japan; most of them have smartphones, particularly iphones that they play their lame mobage or LINE chat on to pass time on the train.

God I wish I was Japanese.

I remember reading somewhere that they didn't even bother to experiment with the Katana's design. Compare this to Europe, where a fuckton of different ways to forge swords were already being fucked around with.

Stop spouting random bullshit instead of facts.

Ai Uehara, Rei Mizuna, Anri Okita and Ai Mukai are Japanese national treasures though. You should be proud they come from Japan.

Most people in the US don't use trains for the most part unless they're elderly and want to experience them for shits and giggles or live in urban areas and commute to work with them.

and european swords ended up being better :^)

Japan had limited metal so there's a resource limitation to the experimentation.

Right I know that being in Boston and know that my situation of walking or taking the train everywhere is unusual. But ultimately US infrastructure (trains or buses or whatever) is generally aged more than 20 years and people grumble about it at most.

Thanos pls

Does anyone here have an idea on how well are these guys doing in STEM research?

I'd ask /sci/ but they'd start spouting memes.

Makes people lazy and sex obsessed.

Mostly robotics and tech based research. They are decent, but specialized

I'd rather be in the 90s.

Maybe that will help fix Japan's birth rate.

>Ai Uehara

She has the shoulders of a man.

the problem isn't age. It's impracticability.
Most Americans commute with car, because there isn't really a good train to their work.

This is true. They don't believe that newer = better.

The same reason why Nintendo has shitty specs, but delivers more innovative products year after year.

Imagine buying technology and expecting to use it for more than 20 years. Holy shit. Jobs is literally rolling in his grave.

Gamecube, Wii u and switch weren't innovative at all though

Don't say that. It makes me want to do it out of spite instead of just utility.

Wrong!
Roland keeps shoving digital crap in their products instead of sticking to tried and true analog tech.

>rubbing your little dingdong to a 8X8 pixelated pussy

The fuck are you talking about!
Most trains, even the Kodama on Tokaido and Sanyo line are the latest N700A
Even the “grandpa” E3 on the Tohoku line are in fact the E3-2000 built in 2009
Japan is a really backward country but their train systems is not one of them.

>tfw cheap chinese shit and korean shit break down in 2-3 years
>meanwhile bunch of my old 20-30 year old japanese tech are still functioning like brand new

Function > form.

Where is the contradiction?

Katana wasn't really a weapon, it was a status symbol. Plus the katana is designed as a solution for crappy japanese steel. But the sword you then get is very expensive and fragile, so nobody wanted to actually use them in battle. They used other weapons, mainly bows and later matchlocks they copied from the portugese.

This. People far too often can't distinguish the means from the goals.
Technology should be used to actually accomplish something, it's not an end in itself. If an old ass machine is still able to do it just fine, then what's the problem.
Also, exactly what are we doing with this super powerful hardware, when compared to 15 years ago, that we couldn't already do apart from pretty interfaces?

Satoru died of cancer and got replaced by a weirdo who pushed Pokemon Go as a way of taking pictures for the CIA. Same story as Steve Jobs and PRISM.

Japanese keep out the SJWs but that didn't stop Fukushima sadly.

GC I agree.
Wii U tried a new thing, making an effort for different multiplayer(I forgot what they called it, that shit where in many games, you could play as 5 and the guy with the screen controller had different stuff, like that guy was a sf the others had to defeat), and being able to play with the TV off.
Those things just weren't hype enough. The name, branding, and markting didn't really help. I dind't know there was a wii U until MH3U came out (a markting failure, as I am a interested buyer). And I remember hearing something about that controller before that, but I also tough it was just another extra periferal. (probably I heard that when the CONSOLE was anounced).
The switch is what Wii U should have been. But At least the Wii U tested the waters, and a second version (the switch) became great.
Fanboys annoying tough, console wars are the most stupid thing ever (i guess that applies to any consumerist war)

>modern and run android
but them being flip phones makes Japan less advanced how?

Swords aren't very good weapons all things considered. Bows and polearms were used far more since they're more practical: cheaper, longer range, polearms require much less training, and just as deadly.

Even in Europe, swords were used primarily as side arms for the people who could afford them, or as a status symbol (e.g. diamond studded iPhone equivalent).

Right, I understand that and am not advocating anything for the rest of America. I'm only saying that nobody in the US would laugh at Tokyo's 20 year-old train system because ours are even older.

>adoption of consumerist gimmicks constitutes advancement
Do the spewing consumerists on this board really believe this? Tapping your phone screen is not technology. Adopting anti-user, anti-privacy consumerists technology is a digression, not progress. The GPS and modem in all modern cars isn't progress. Having your location automatically triangulated 24/7 by your phone isn't progress. Etc, etc.

And I still see a lot of them using iPhone fives and sixes.

If they build new things, or they want to provide a new service, then they use new technologies.
One example could be how you can pay at pump using various tap to pay systems, including Apple Pay.
The pumps look fucking old still (if the station isn't new) but they were able to integrate it into their current systems without turning it into a crashy mess.

Japan thinks being able to use a computer is impressive. The reason their robotics and electronic components industries are world class is because of the older generation are still working. They are gonna become second class once the old people all retire and die. China is going to replace Japan for every high end thing that Japan currently produces.

>Japan is soooo technologically advanced
this was only true in the 80s and 90s

>Japan thinks being able to use a computer is impressive.
Which is really weird because even their elementary schools have computer classes.

Since when does Japan play football?

Japanese respect old people that's why.

>Problem Japan has now is widespread virgins
FTFY

Lel look at this utilitarian neckbeard, the point of technology is to look cool.

This only shows that nipps are clearly more advanced than baka gaijin.

Accomodate BLOAT.

>his fridge still doesn’t have 32gb ram to connect to the botnet and upload all your data to the nsa database.

Technology for its own sake isn’t an improvement, its an annoyace.

glorious pic if i may say so

I had a Japanese friend in university who explained to me that he didn't own a computer until he was in high school, and that the computer classes in elementary school were teaching ridiculously basic shit, like how to open a word processor and write a letter, or how to copy and paste. He didn't actually own a computer until he was in high school, and bought a used Sony Vaio of sorts from an electronics shop. Even then, a lot of his classmates were impressed that he had one, because about half of them still didn't have a personal computer at home (they used the ones at school or in the library).

I don't regard the common North American to be remotely tech-literate, but he was always impressed at how much we could do on our computers. He thought it was insane that I changed the RAM on my Thinkpad and built a PC using only components I bought in the store. At first I thought "but aren't you from the same city as the Akiba electronics market, how could you possibly be impressed by this", before realizing Akiba is now all about the moe.

Most of industrial robots are made in or by Japan. Many US and China factory cant even function without Japan robot hand.
Example Fanucs, even Tesla big factory has to use them.

Japan OMRON PLC is easy to use and far more popular in many many factory

Japan still one of many rare country thay has the ability to make missle that carry thing to space, mnay important carriage and satellite is made and sent by them to space

Etc

Japan is far more technological advance in many small things that make life much safer and easier like advanced convinience store, advanced vending machine, advanced arcane, advanced golf, bowling and baseball games etc etc

>still use flip phone
Japan has many type of phones, android phone are very popular. My professor have both flip phone and smartphone. Smartphone is for personal works, flip phone is for public works.

There isnt any things like Japan, and each city is like a different Japan, the energetic and fast developing Fukuoka, the mega city of Tokyo, the land of traditional and calmness Kyoto, land of strangeness Osaka.
Time I have spent in Japan is the most valuable of my life I am looking forward to working there again soon.

Reality. vs. Globalist media stereotypes.

Why would they use android if there is no different in software market between the 2 and they can oay for most of things even music on Itunes.
Trust me Iphone and Apple product is far more stable in many case that suits Japanese normies more. But there is many many people there use android too, you can see many android phone nowadays in stations around city. In fact in my trip I rarely see any Iphone, mostly Fujitsu and Sony followed by debranded Samsung.

watching porno is how you lose girlfriends.

i've never had one to lose

>Japan didn't fall for the consumerist trap.
>Most popular mobile platform in Japan is iPhone.
You're all wrong buddy

>still use flip-phones, fax machines and paper record systems

Wii U was a stopgap until home console-quality graphics in a mobile was viable.

He isn't relevant.

isn't that what happens after a society becomes technologically advanced? Non botnet enabled devices become a premium

>debranded Samsung
Wow this fucking salty.
Nips still seething after IBM-PC BTFO'd their nonstandard (but superior) proprietary PC architectures.

being able to use a fucking ipad or chromebook in school is not being tech literate. 99% of people in amercia would not replace the ram in their laptop if they could even open it at all.

>Japan didn't fall for the consumerist trap, where you're always upgrading to the latest thing.

dude. japan literally invented this shit. My japanese friend changes her smartphone every 6 month.

yes they do they play mobile games that are made to drain you of money just like everyone else

Good but you will never get a professorship there.

GC was way better than the N64.

Depends on the school, I've heard of Japanese middle schools that teach soldering.

>and that the computer classes in elementary school were teaching ridiculously basic shit, like how to open a word processor and write a letter, or how to copy and paste

Had the same thing in my american school back in the 90s.
