hi-tech in Japan??
Can someone give me a list of advanced technologies in Japan which you won’t find in any other country?
It could be concerned with robots, home appliances, transport, cell phones..basically any gadget or hi-tech invention which has features only found in Japan and no where else.
I know that they have special hi-tech toilets which, for example is only found in Japan…any others you know?? You could also give me a source or link with your answer. Thanks!
Cars are made with very impressive robotics. You can take a tour of the Toyota factory in Toyota, Aichi, Japan.
The car parks are also pretty interesting too. Some are just narrow buildings downtown where you drive onto a rotating disc, then onto a ramp which is then elevated up into the ferris-wheel type structure.
There are all sorts of gadgets, but they aren’t really used in normal daily life. If you went to Expo 2005 you would have seen robotic greeters and then a performance by robots at the Toyota pavillion.
Some people have robotic dogs as pets.
It’s interesting to see all the old precursors to robots, like the karakuri ningyo, a wooden doll that would come to you, serve you tea, then go back. That was built a couple hundred years ago.
The internet is pretty advanced in Japan. Instead of using 26 letters, you can use all those kanji and kana. Think about the implications. That’s pretty difficult to set up something like that.
Natali Del Conti and Daniel Sieberg reported from the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Nev. where all the latest hi-tech gadgets are premiered.
