I guess it depends on who you ask, but living in Japan I got the impression they're seen as an important role in society. Every taxi I had ever taken had a middle aged man in a business suit driving. I'm not talking about "

This comparison is ridiculous, the amount of private information you can gather from my mail is incomparable to the amount of information you can gather from my phone. My phone remembers more about me than I do. Conversations I don't
