Why is Japan so far ahead technologically?

Their companies basically run the camera world and gaming world and their phones were always way ahead of everything else. Why then has the iPhone taken off there?

>camera world

That was a deliberate action by Nikon, because Japan didn't produce anything high quality at the time and they wanted to change that.

It probably worked because the Russians occupied most of Germany, which ruled the camera world before WW2.

>gaming world

They don't.

>their phones were always way ahead of everything else.

Because they spend a lot of time on public transport.
So they were OK with paying a lot for mobile devices to keep them entertained as they travel.

Hardly.
I remember Prakticas being pretty good.

With some exceptions East German products weren't that bad, particularly those destined for export. They just couldn't make them in any significant quantity, and they were never the absolute best products.

As for 'fleeing' to the west? It wasn't nearly as common as you'd think. Most of their technology was squandered by the Russians (as war repatriations), who ended up giving it back after a decade and a half (when other countries had caught up anyway).
If their industry was allowed to run uninterrupted in the post-war period, Germany might still have been camera centre of the world.

>inb4 they still use fax faggots
Fax machines are objectively better than email
>>
Japan is pretty good at taking a technology developed by someone else and simplifying the design process to make it smaller or more efficient. But for a long time they've been slow at adopting new technology at the consumer level.

For example it wasn't uncommon for small business to still use fax machines instead of email, or for people to still use flip-phones instead of smart-phones. I think it's a cultural thing where stuff isn't replaced just because there's something newer around, but is kept in use as long as possible.
>>
>>52898555
>I think it's a cultural thing where stuff isn't replaced just because there's something newer around, but is kept in use as long as possible.
This. The US has a "newer is always better" culture, especially when it comes to electronics. Companies spend billions marketing new shit that just isn't a worthwhile improvement on it's predecessors, but people still buy the shit out of it.

Hell, there was a report that flip phones saw a noticeable rise the past few years because they're so much cheaper than smart phones.

A testament to this fact is the number of Japanese ex-pats you see. Which is barely any, because no one wants to leave Japan.

Tons of Chinese people leave China; enough that there's a Chinatown in almost every major city in the globe. Ditto for Koreans, albeit to a much lesser extent due to the proportionally smaller population. Meanwhile if you see a Japanese restaurant anywhere outside Japan it's probably owned by Koreans/Chinese taking advantage of all the dumbass whites that don't know a Japanese restaurant shouldn't have Kimchi on the menu.
It's vexing because Japs are also the most western-looking (and therefore least ugly) asians, and for someone with yellow fever you'll probably never see them in the wild.

Literally retarded. Their animation is second to none, as well as comic books. Music is quite good also, in a similar way to Western music (ie ignore the shit, find the hit).

"work", he says.
The average Salaryman's workday consists of 3-4 hours snail-pace labor, 5-8 hours of fucking around talking to colleagues or on social networking sites/yahoo, and frequent ~2 hour after-work drinking sessions.

The days of slow traveling information is dead. The copy and tweak approach is no longer working hence the reason all their companies are sinking. Japan should stick with making music instruments, cameras and video games. Everything else is a losing proposition. Having 10 meetings to make small decisions is killing them.
>>
>>52898912
I always imagine people who complain about American media being "unemotional" while Japan is so "expressive" is because they have some sort of mental condition, like Aspergers, that makes it difficult for them to read human emotions.

Kind of like how Big Bang Theory needs a laugh track to explain to the audience when they say a funny joke.
>>
>>52898955
Oh I do too. Pic related. Sort of good, but sort of a disappointment at the same time because they try to cram as much shit into one movie, which I of course understand is an artwork in and of itself since it's a movie. But what I'm saying is that it's not healthy for an industry. Hollywood does this sometimes too, or they make endless fucking sequels or rehashes of the same shit, but at least we see a lot of original shit every year

How in the hell does Japan run the gaming world?

All the major gaming studios are from the Western world.

Japan didn't know dick on how to network gaming, and if it were left to them, we'd still all be playing single player games.

Even during WWII, if Japan didn't steal their tech from the Western World they bought it from Western companies.

Part of that is Japan's love of beuracracy. It get absurd at times. If you ever apply to a Japanese business or school your mind will be blown by the amount of useless information they ask for. You have to have a government registered seal to use as a signature even.

>cellphones

Part of that is because Japanese flip phones wre just as capble as blackberrys and early smartphones. TThey really took off around the iPhone 4 though.

Currently living in Japan. iPhones are popular here but theres a fucking TON of "smart" flip phones, too.

Japanese animation is acutally pretty shit. It's a common misconception from a lot of weebs, mostly people who don't know the differance between animation(movment and how it flows) and art style. Most anime now isn't even drawn in Japan but in Korea. What's worse is that Japanese animators don't even make much even from those super popular shows and not only that but are also under staff a lot. I remember when Kyoani Studio was begging for pretty much anyone to come work for them. If someone ask what country is good at cutting corners when animating then Japan would be the kings at it.

>>52899086

And let me paint a crude picture for you guys. 1 episode of Family Guy cost more to produce then an entire season(12 episodes) of anime. Why? because animation cost way more money then art style, which is what most anime rely on.

He's not the only voice actor in family guy. The other people are all fairly big names and certainly take a hefty chunk of cash. Much more so than Japanese voice actors.

But yes, Japanese animators are also paid slave wages, so that helps keep costs down too.

right, and as such every time his contract is up (or for any of the other major VA's) he can renegotiate his salary as much as he wants because without seth macfarlane there is no family guy

while family guy's quality has gone down over the years, they've done a shit ton of specials within the last few years that have a much higher quality of animation and are going to contribute to the increase budget per episode for that season because the budget per episode is derived from the overall budget of the season

It isn't, and it hasn't been for a while. They are ahead in robotics and camera technology. Westerns who have worked in Japanese companies note how backwards they are in their use of IT in their companies. Many Japanese people don't use a PC but do everything on their phones instead. It's not the technological powerhouse people think it is. It gained that reputation because they like robots and they were in fact ahead in things for a while, in the 80s and 90s. Not anymore. America is better in most things, and Taiwan, China and especially Korea are at least on their level in most things. The reason they dominate camera technology still is that the Koreans could not go in, subvert some of their engineers away, and replicate it. The way cameras are made, there's a lot of tacit knowledge involved that you can't simply copy.

Their phones are not ahead. The best smartphones are made by the likes of Samsung and Apple. Japanese smartphones might be just on that level, but definitely not better. And their sales are not good. If they were really so much better than everyone would be buying them, and as you pointed out, even the Japanese want iPhones because they are just better.

The West has many more important technology companies than that. You simply fail to know of them.
>>
>>52897915
No. It isn't. It's just a country. It's not that good. It's cool and different, but it's not the best at much by objective standards, and certainly not by technological standards. In terms of patents and innovation, in terms of actual sales of smartphones, in terms of actual societal adoption of technology they are quite behind the west, many companies still have paper offices with many Japanese unable to do basic things that we take for granted in the west. Only someone with an idealistic, fictional view of Japan thinks it's just the best place there is, like some magical land where everyone is smart and everything is better..

Which is why they still hand craft things like watches and cameras in Japan while Europe and America don't.

Oh yeah that's another good point. The Japanese internet is disgusting and way behind. I hear that in Japan programmers and developers are paid poorly and treated like shit too.
>>
>>52900282
Hand crafting isn't always better. Their cameras are better because the companies know how to make better cameras. And if other people can't compete with you, you can afford the inefficient of hand craft.

Japan is actually full of ass-backward fucks who still use flip phones. What you see on tech review sites and animu doesn't reflect real life at all in nipland.

a lot of big japanese tech companies are only still around because they're basically tied legally to banks. the banks are set up specifically to loan money to them, the banks pour money in, they never see a return because the company isn't profitable, but it becomes a better solution to simply lend more than it does to let the company collapse and take the bank with it

their whole tech sector is on the verge of crisis, it's literally staring death in the face

As I said before.
The DDR could make good shit.
Their biggest failing if anything was making consumer products too accessable.

Like a significant majority of the population could afford a new car every few years. The only problem was that they could never produce cars in that quantity and speed.
It's not like western manufacturers were any better at making cars, it's just that they used better price signalling (which made the consumer feel responsible for not having access to a new car, rather than the system).

Their system might even be semi-viable now that automation is so good and things can be produced so quickly. That's an experiment to be conducted in the future though.

Japan's economy has never recovered from its 90s recession. Their companies are still run like it's the fucking 80s. Early 80s.

They will not be a superpower in 20 years. The only thing that could possibly save that country is mass immigration.

Well, to be fair, Japanese population is really dying off. Nobody immigrates because most people are not willing to learn the language and Japanese can't even learn basic English... Considering how good their education is, it's nonsense not to be able to speak decently at least one foreign language.

I think that pronunciation is your least problem when you can't create one proper sentence. I don't see in their education that much, but if in European shithole I live in is basic knowledge of at least 2 foreign languages (that's usually English and German) expected and taught in schools with laughable financing, something must be very wrong. I heard that you just have to be English speaker and you pretty much can teach, but I don't know if that's true.

No. Like every other country that has been experiencing shit birth rates, this shit is a fad and will end within several years. There is no need for mass immigration

Pronunciation isn't the problem. If they aren't used to hearing a sound, it is hard for the listener to distinguish it and actually hear the world properly. When I took Arabic I coyldn't even tell how many words were in a sentence I listened to for a few months.

Then if you aren't used to speaking a sound, then you will struggle to form a word period.
