I completely agree and an interesting way of putting it. Just to think of the counterpoint to this:<p>I think my biggest takeaway from the USA was that it&#x27;s stuck between two worlds -- one 20 years ahead, and one 20 years behind.<p>They have dirty streets, but then keep their garbage tidy when throwing it away?!<p>On the one hand, they don&#x27;t really have robots, on the other hand you can survive completely without cash by paying for absolutely anything by card.<p>Even ordinary little restaurants have free wifi, but nowhere did I see a pre-order machine. They hadn&#x27;t even heard of them, and we&#x27;ve had those since at least the 70&#x27;s.
