It’s an article from a couple of months ago, but still relevant: www.bbc.co.uk/news/1054312613 July 2010 Revealing Japan's Low-tech BellyBy Michael Fitzpatrick BBC News “A dystopian vision of a nation with technology stuck in an Orwellian time warp? Not at all. These are aspects of contemporary, low-tech Japan that most visitors miss as they look around the hi-tech nation that its government, electronics industry and tourism board are keen to promote. Tech-savvy internationalised companies such as Panasonic characterise that familiar but smaller segment of Japan Inc. The second much larger, and often subsidised economy, comprises overstaffed family-run firms that are decidedly low-tech and high-priced.”Source:BBC News
