The "fairest" method? A flat tax.
Why not ask what is the "best" method?

I think the most likely cause of someone not being impressed with technology today is that they never experience living as an adult without that technology.
Age is a factor. Technological advancements tend to build on one another. The change seen in 97 years would be exponentially greater than the change seen in the years the author has been alive.
Also, if you want to be impressed with innovation, I think you'll need to look beyond the weekly flow of new gadgets from Japan. For example, to date, scientists have confirmed detecting 490 planets outside of our solar system. People are moving computer cursors using only their mind and a device placed on their head. Some of the videos at ted.com will impress you, I think.

Amusement parks work well if you both have season passes. A few hours after work on a cool summer workday evening - have a beer, see a show, ride something fun.

My cell phone has email, a still camera, movie camera, TV and web browsing. I have no idea if it is a "Feature phone" or a "Smartphone", and I don't particularly care.
Posted in: Do you use a smartphone or feature phone (any cell phone that is not a smartphone or PDA)?

It appears there have been 15 stories about Ric O’Barry on this website. This one says almost nothing new.

Here's a better question: What percent of global warming has been caused by man?

Hopefully I've avoided watching the worst movies of all time. One I failed to avoid was Enemy Mine. I think it was on late night on Japanese TV, and I got sucked into it thinking it would get better at the end.

Yes, but don't these things increase the credibility of the new-to-Japan company by adding an sense of permanence that the "You can rent an office for one day" offices lack?

The car gets very little attention with these two beauties standing in front of it. From a marketing standpoint, this is poorly thought out. At minimum have the models touch the product or stand to the side or behind it.

My opinion has not changed since the last time this question was asked.
There already is an age limit. And it's a good thing.

Faxed? The internet allows you to connect more directly to your audience (as well as the media). What advantage does 30-year-old technology have over a website and a twitter account?

Suma is not pretty. In Kansai, I recommend the beach at Omimaiko on the northern part of Lake Biwa. It's very clear fresh water, though the beach is kind of shelly, rather than sandy.

Is there an deprecating humility festival somewhere in Japan? I'd like to go to say bad things about myself.
