And that’s very good. You need a newer and better technology for the same job, if it does the same job better. Not for a different job with new “wow effect component” baked in.
We use pencils, pens and writing paper still.
It wasn’t an option to have a “new and better” writing paper synchronizing all our records with some vault authoritative people have before. Now it is. Japan apparently has passed the test of people_not_ trying to move everything to that honeypot.
All hail Japan, can they please conquer us? Technically I live in a nearby country, except, eh, Moscow is kinda far from the far east …
Weeeell… floppies have more downsides that upsides and could’ve been replaced ages ago (along with implementing backup policies).
They could’ve at least migrated to data MiniDiscs. 😁
Faxes from what I’ve heard were mostly because back in the day it was easier to write Japanese on a paper and fax it… in the age of Unicode, fax-to-mail and alike… dunno, maybe.
I generally agree though, no point in adopting new stuff just because.

Fax is an analog system that can be built without very complex production lines in place, that’s a good enough reason.
Have you heard if this thing called a mobile phone?
Yes, that thing can’t
. I want to live in a free and humanist world, which means that such technologies are more valuable.
