Perhaps Un-Wired is a Better Description
Seoul may give Tokyo a run for its money in the tech department. South Korea is the most wired nation on the planet, with 90 pct plus able to access the internet, mostly from their phones. We spent an hour at Lotte World, a megamall that has an amazing electronics section. Lots of things that aren't over to the US yet. I know the nephews would have been excited to be here.
Everything is connected in this country. The TV, the phone, the washing machine and even the vaccuum cleaner are web-enabled wirelessly. No idea why you'd want all of those things talking to the web, but what do I know.
I was truly in heaven walking around. I wanted to buy 22 different things.
On the train, everyone had their face in their screens. Some watching TV, some playing games, some reading books. Only the older man second from left was analog, reading the paper on actual paper.
Samsung is the leader here, I saw many more of that brand than iPhones.
