Somehow I think Japan will be the first country to to pursue the use of robots and A.I. to better their society, not just in development but in actual utility. The vending machine culture in Japan right now seems as if it is a precursor to this. They’ve found many uses for the vending machine; some innovative, like the machines that will dispense free drinks in case of emergencies (water is often useful in these cases), and some completely unneccessary, like the machines that sell panties of young girls for perverse old men. Overall though, it’s technological reliance such as this which makes me think Japan will be the culture most suited to living alongside functional robots.
