minus-squareSquiddles@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up142·11 months agoI heard Japan described as being “stuck in the year 2000 since the 1980’s”. I think South Korea fits the original question better than Japan nowadays.
minus-squareChozo@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up41·11 months agoYeah, Japan had a massive tech boom in the 80s and 90s, but then just kinda stopped growing that field. It’s still there and still a strong industry in Japan, but the cultural tech hype isn’t there anymore, it seems.
