Technically amazing, culturally incredibly backward. They will have to change if they want to keep up with a changing world, and I am sure they will. I’m sure elders in Japan will become as irrelevant as they soon will be everywhere else in the world. Communication via the new technologies is going to make people realise that we are all the same, and so national and ethnic identity is on its way out.
