Don't you ever look at what the Japanese make and then feel as if you're a backwards monkey? I know I do.

In addition, I also saw some really cool things in Japan when I visited there about 7 years ago:
1. They had already come out with (or were planning to come out with) taxis with cell phone docking gadgets that would pull your destination location from your cell phone (yes, Japan already had GPS built into a lot of phones in the year 2000). So, you didn't have to even tell the taxi driver, he would just look at his little gps monitor that he has and go to where ever your destination was located.
2. Vending machine cashiers - There were several semi-fast food places in Japan where you ordered your food via vending machine and when you finished the purchasing transaction, you would take the receipt to the back kitchen. I thought this was brilliantly convenient since there is generally less error in machines (compared to humans) and the restaurant only needed to maintain a machine, they didn't even need to pay a person to deal with the whole thing
