Turning Japanese, iThink…
What do you know about Japan and their economy? Their nominal GDP and stock market seem to be “losing” relative to other countries, but upon further examination you will find that the real GDP/capita has been quite reasonable throughout the period. but what’s money got to do with it? Success doesn’t lead to happiness.
Mobile internet in Japan has been years ahead of other countries, so it is reasonable to believe that their interactions are occuring at a much faster pace. If there’s one trend that’s always been present it is the increase in frequency and abstraction of interactions (aka learning). Isn’t it possible that we’re witnessing a transformation from the real to the digital world there first?

Our bodies can only get us so far.
