japan is imploding from within and kuroshiing left and right from overwork and sinking from under the burden of a massive grey population,all the technology in the world cant save them.
its clear from global market forces that sometimes people are just not interested in the best of the best technology that cost and arm and leg to upkeep.most of the time the world would rather settle for cheap technology that performs at a decent average acceptable level because cheap technology opens up accessibility to the masses which otherwise would be unaffordable,thank you budget smartphone makers for giving me the gift of smartphones back in 2012,before that i had to carry dumbphones.goodbye sony,vaio,sharp and panasonic.no one uses sony laptops anymore or tvs and sharp stock is bleeding out of their asshole.fujitsu and hitachi has been reduced to making discount bin harddrives and panasonic batteries,at least for the moment the guts of our electronics will be filled with japanese technology.
