Most offices still use fax machines there
That may be our future in 2050, don't you judge their ways
These sorts of things are meaningless overall though. Where I'm from nearly everything is done digitally, most people are used to paying with digital wallets, we're all on digital ID, and we hardly have paper anywhere. But everybody is still poor, miserable and struggling. I never liked the idea that having minor convenience technology is what makes for a futuristic society. Give us public transport, healthcare and jobs, even if I have to do everything on paper for the rest of my life, that's decades more advanced than what most people get these days, lol.
I agree with you like Capitalist Tears, but I think it's less the Japanese being in the future - moreso a lot of us are stuck in fucking 1650 with the completely abysmal social structures we have
I agree with your idea of futuristic but when people say “living in 2050” they are referring to the advances in technology.
The fax thing is not an exception, for example, they make it hard to do things online, often requiring physical copy of documents that you used their website to fill.
I live here, and it gets frustrating how difficult some things here are which these days takes 5 minutes inmost of the countries.
When my ex lived there she could only pay rent using cash in an envelope.
Based and "fuck invisible money" pilled.
Don't use digital money. Keep physical in circulation or you will never actually have the money you are supposed to
