Finally, Japan decided to stop using

In the 1970s, with the popularity of floppy disks, the Japanese government formulated a rule that even submitted the save data even if it was submitted by a floppy disk. But obviously this rule has not been updated with the times, to this day, Japanese officials are still using outdated data preservation methods such as floppy disks.

According to the BBC report on September 1, the Minister of Digital Affairs Khuru Kono Kono said at a press conference on August 31 that he would eliminate these outdated equipment and technologies. Kono said that more than 1900 administrative procedures for Japanese government departments now require enterprises and individuals to submit application forms with storage equipment such as soft disks, CDs, MDs. "Where can I buy a floppy disk now?" Kono asked.

However, it is not easy for Japan to achieve more convenient electronic office, because the elimination of these devices requires modification of legal provisions. Japanese officials stated that they will formulate policies at the end of this year and ask all departments to start action.

Although Japan is famous for its development high -tech products, it is also criticized for its outdated technology in office culture. People have put forward various explanations for this phenomenon, including the lack of digital knowledge and the conservative bureaucratic culture.

This is not the first time that Japan has appeared in news because of its conservative habits. In 2018, the Minister of Network Security of Japan publicly acknowledged that he had never used a computer, and said that he always gave IT -related tasks to the subordinates to complete; in 2019, Japan's last rotor supplier closed the service. Private users explained that this is the first choice for his elderly mother.
