Korean Technology: America your days are number.
Here is a brief list of Korean technology that embarrasses it's American counterparts.
1)Cell phones - TV's with antennas are quite common on cell phones as are built in speakers for music. This commercial does not give you any idea of the level of technology we're dealing with.
This video doesn't really show off phones, but it gives you a good feeling of what it feels like to be a foriegner.
2)Taxis - Also come equipped with TVs
3)Tables- Many tables are fitted with little buttons to call your waiter or waitress. Probably the most beloved thing by foriegners in Korea because we feel awkward yelling out "yogiyo" (here) to the wait staff. Other tables have metal holes in them to put your beer mug in. Then the holes get cold. Amazing.
4) Cane Dancing- Sorry Fred, your magic jumping cane won't cut it anymore. You're behind the times, old man, Korea makes water flow upwards.
Analog
Digital (minute 4:35 if you want to skip a sweet song and go straight to the magic stick)
