OT What do the Japanese do-

[Broadback]

With all those photos we see them everywhere snapping away?

[Richard]

Same as everyone else who snaps photos everywhere - bore the crap out of anyone unlucky enough to be acquainted.

[spuorgelgoog]

print them out and fax them to their friends, probably.

[Davey]

Two things that don't happen any more. Sigh. Them wuz the days....

[Brian-Gaff]

Donate them to a princess who is still waiting for her prints to come? Brian

[Davey]

Ouch!

[Johnny B Good]

Maybe true for everywhere else but not so in Japan. Orwain's comment is closer to the truth than you might imagine.

[Davey]

Really? I thought they were usually ahead of most other places, such as using contactless payment for some years before it caught on here. Why would they still use Fax?

[Jonno]

Davey scribbled

Japanese businesses are very reluctant to use new technology.

That link surprised me. It's as if there are two sides to Japan: the high tech innovator and the technically conservative.
