I used one in HK too, and various other places. One benefit for busy cities is that they are great for allowing tourists to go at their own pace if they struggle with the local language (and often have language options to help them).
- woutr_be 7y agoThat's very true, especially for introverted people like me, who don't like the attention when struggling with a language. It also helps that the devices are pretty responsive, and allow you to order everything. The downside is that I often see older people struggle with it, I guess for them it would be easier to talk to a human.
- WalterBright 7y ago> who don't like the attention when struggling with a language I suppose I am the opposite. I enjoy attempting to order food in a tongue I am learning. But going through the process with a native English speaker, I'd rather just push a button on the kiosk.
