    A robotic suit that reads brain signals and helps people with mobility problems will be available to rent in Japan for 220,000 yen a month starting Friday

    Two big problems right there. In regard to the latter, well it's out of reach for your average Tanaka and Satomi isn't it. And that kind of money is roughly the same as one foreign nurse/carer, who is capable of helping many people. The greying is already at what one in five over 70 or something. Affordable, reliable technology ain't gonna make it on time. Foreign staff grudgingly accepted at snail pace.

    My favorite part of this very short article might be the fact that one quote was repeated only two paragraphs later, and with different capitalization, too.

    keshii well done, I think you're the first person to read a JT article in its entirety before posting! You win the JT prize! It's not a Nobel prize though and is kind of worthless, but then so is time spent here.

    This picture is no good. It's less than interesting to see teamwork and cooperation in the world's most boring sport in race car driving. I pity them.

    I've changed my mind. Nice pic. Good to see the drivers up there cos that's what's most important. Judging from the otherside of the globe and knowing anything about the place are two different things.

    So perhaps the U.S. media outlets claiming that the prize was won by an American are the ones at fault.

    How is that possible? When did he win the prize? And his citizenship is...?

    Banzai! Let's overlook that detail and cerebrate three, count em, one, two, three! local boys that have won the Nobel Prize for...something! Don't discuss what they won it for in much depth, let's talk about, well how great 127 million people are in this small island! Everybody is trying so hard. But how's the inefficiency. This guy takes 30 years for his research to be recognised. It's about time a Nobel Prize was inaugurated for inefficiency. That way, the Japanese could win it every year! Banzai!

    Some people are without a social life and find the internet a haven for them to be a social elitist.

    I prefer to think of myself as some kind of big man.

    haha the news I watched didn't say anything about the guy actually being American.

    I don't know, everyone is so busy in Japan, maybe they didn't have enough time to mention it. I'm sure they wouldn't intentionally omit details to cast themselves in a better light, would they? I've heard the Japanese are an honest people and have some kind of honour code.

    I can't believe I missed this enthralling event. I'll print it out and look at it next time I'm having trouble getting to sleep.
