I know why Japan's mobile internet and modern computer technology are so underdeveloped. Their young people each have a Switch, and every day they are immersed in the childlike world woven by Nintendo. Complete collections, second playthroughs, 10 hours of gaming can stretch to 200 hours. They are completely absorbed. Given this, I ask, when do they have time to hack, participate in hackathons, or write code that changes the world? They don't. By 2025, even the most backward physical supermarkets in the U.S. will have been fully digitized, and I'm talking about Safeway. Even the app for old-fashioned stores like Home Depot has been updated, feeling like it was rewritten with the latest technology. Ship to store can track the location of goods in real-time, and you no longer need to bring a credit card to pay; just use your phone's NFC. Even the most niche and unused company apps are updated at least once a month, often matching the latest iOS features. But what about Japan? Let alone credit cards, can the apps of these physical stores in Japan even be used? Look at the usability of Robinhood. These UIs are actually not difficult at all; app updates can be done by anyone who puts in the effort. So why is no one doing it in Japan? Aside from the old refrain of "conservatism," Nintendo's contribution to destroying the productivity of Japan's youth Absolutely plays a significant role.
