What makes you think that?
- flukus 10y agoThe the general attitude I see here, possibly with my own biases. People describe waking up vibrating and think it's "some crazy Japanese invention".
- ramchip 10y agoI think that's just a stereotype, and people in Japan would also find it very strange.
- Scuds 10y agoJapanese electronics (especially in the boom years of the 80's and early 90's) have a certain 'Technology for Technology's Sake' design sensibility among them.
- Ericson2314 10y agoFYI the 90s were not the boom years. The 70s were good at least relative to elsewhere.
