Japan tech

So Japan can feel very high tech, especially compare the the US (less so compared to China, say). Have I talked about my washing machine, my automatic-fillikg bathtub that keeps the water a fixed temperature for four hours, or basically any toilet in the entire country?

But then you innocently walk down an aisle at one of the major electronic appliance store in Japan and you fine… these:

Fax machines, Japan? Those cordless phones and CD-ROMs for chrissake? Look, I know my fashion sense is locked in ca. 1993 (torn jeans, Doc Martens, sassy tee, and unbuttoned plaid flannel shirt, second flannel shirt in a different plaid tied around your waist, are an eternal look, man!) but this is ridiculous.

Though it does explain a lot about Japanese websites…
