MODERATORS
The future has way too much nationalism and misogyny.
Fax machines are definitely being phased out.
Floppy disks? How old is this meme? In the nearly twenty years I've been in Japan, I've never even seen a floppy disk.
Paper filing is an option if you want it.
And as for cash, electronic payments have really taken off in the last year. I still value my privacy though. So I stick it out in the slow line up.
All in all, there's a kernel of truth to the meme. What the outside sees as a Blade Runner society drenched in neon, the reality is more "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" kinda place.

Japan uses cards, it's just that they love their trains so much, they put their money on their fare cards I stead of using credit cards.
I still have my Suica card, it's got $50 on it still.
