Japan is ahead in many different technologies. For example ET3 thought of a really interesting train idea. In the future I am wonder What is next? I ask this because as their technologies advance so do ours like the iphone keeps getting better. By Sierra

I assume by “ahead” you’re referring to technological advancement. While living in Japan, I noticed a variety of areas where Japan is ahead of the US, and other areas where Japan is surprisingly far behind the US.

Keep in mind that the stereotypical perception of Japan (robots, etc.) is actually not accurate. I lived in Japan for two years and didn’t see a single robot – as far as I know, those are just in science labs, much like self-driving cars here in the US.
