Japan has always been behind most of the world in software advancements. They built their reputation on hardware, but even there they’re significantly lagging.

It was weird watching the divergent development of cell phones in Japan vs the US. The US cell phone industry went all in on software advancements. Japan had phones with all of these weird attachable hardware modules. I remember Japanese cell phones looking like an old gameboy with every attachment accessory on it.

Japan also started the whole emoji thing, though.

They also embraced QR codes a decade or more before the West did.
