Fax machines are definitely being phased out.

Floppy disks? How old is this meme? In the nearly twenty years I’ve been in Japan, I’ve never even seen a floppy disk.

Paper filing is an option if you want it.

And as for cash, electronic payments have really taken off in the last year. I still value my privacy though. So I stick it out in the slow line up.

All in all, there’s a kernel of truth to the meme. What the outside sees as a Blade Runner society drenched in neon, the reality is more “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” kinda place.
