After the employees of Kadokawa Bookstore lurked in Japan's online anime enthusiast forums and other places, Wen Xunna was also idle and registered a few accounts on his own to take a look. In fact, if you really want to talk about it, the Internet life in Japan is really not as rich as that in Chinese mainland - in fact, in such an era, there are not many websites and forums on the Japanese side. It's not like Chinese mainland, and there are all kinds of forums everywhere! For example, for example, there is a well-known cat fluttering forum in the mainland, in fact, it was a game forum at the earliest, and then it slowly developed into a comprehensive forum, and now it is quite well-known in the country!

In all respects, it can be said that there are hobbyist websites, and even in such a year, companies such as Doremi in China still have free space and paid space to build personal websites for individuals to build such a service. Relatively different from Chinese people who like online life, ordinary people in countries like Japan do not like online life very much. This is not to say how the Chinese are so short of entertainment - in such a year, domestic pirated CDs are rampant, and what blockbuster movies need to spend a lot of money to watch? There are many places to rent CDs in small cities, and you can rent a CD for a day for one dollar or two dollars, how is this not less expensive than watching a movie? And even in big cities, there are all kinds of pirated discs for sale, what five dollars a disc or something can be seen directly at home, and you can also collect it! Why is there less of this entertainment?

And on the Japanese side, how can ordinary people have more entertainment than Chinese? It's not much richer, they can read comics or something, there are pirates in China to distribute, and there are this kind of rental bookstores next to various campuses where you can rent books to read. And then what about their animations? There are also translated alphabet versions on the Chinese Internet for Chinese to see. And also don't want money! Even if you don't have a computer, you can always watch it when you go to an Internet café! On the other hand, this game that the Japanese like to play or something, the Chinese are not nothing! Even if Chinese prefer to play online games rather than Japanese video games, the Chinese market for video games is not too small. Or are there a lot of people in the business of selling smuggled game consoles and games from Japan, so what does that mean? This means that in fact, Chinese young people can choose no less entertainment than Japanese young people!

But relatively speaking, the Japanese really don't like the Internet very much. Even in such an era, it was possible to access the Internet like Sega's game console DC or something, but to be honest, there are not many Internet services in Japan, and they don't have many websites, so such a feature is added. It's better than nothing. Why do the Japanese don't like website forums and the like, Jia Hongjian doesn't know, and even relatively speaking, there are not too many forums in an area like Duwan that are as popular as the mainland. For example, it's a bit of an antique category like ppt, which is a forum like a DOS interface in Duwan and so on! It's really not like a bunch of websites on the mainland! Why the hell is this happening. No one knows, because the folk customs in various places are different, and the entertainment methods that are liked in various places are different, and there are many forums on various websites in the United States, and Americans still like to use email such a model, and do not like to use various instant chat software, is it strange?

But if you really want to talk about it, the development of network hardware in Japan is still good. And they themselves have embarked on a peculiar path that is different from that of China and the United States. For example, in the United States, most people don't like to text too much, so they usually call when there is something. In China, young people basically like to text messages, and even older people can text as long as they are not in a hurry. But in Japan, they don't even know what a text message is! That's right, on Japanese phones this is actually all texting. They send emails on mobile phones! In fact, the Japanese have combined the habits of Chinese and Americans into one - in their mobile phone, the mobile phone can apply for an email address. And then such an email address is the same thing as a personal number.

Japanese people generally make relatively few phone calls. If they want to send a text message, it is actually to use a mobile phone to operate a thing that feels similar to the SMS system to send an email to others, so it is useless to know that other people's mobile phones are useless, and if you want to be friends with others, you must also know the other party's email account! In fact, it is not a Japanese that combines the advantages of the East and the West by connecting China and the West, but in fact it can only be said that they are Japanese...... Odd! That's right, the Japanese love to use email, and the Chinese love to use text messages, which are normal results in the development of the telecommunications industry in the two countries. The reason for the differentiation of the two usage habits of SMS and email is that the technology development path of the telecommunications industry in the two countries is different. Or to put it more bluntly, Japan is a strange existence in the world's telecommunications map, what technology and what system like independent research and development, there is an instinctive resistance to foreign technology, and in the continuous drumming, the Japanese have cultivated the habit of using mobile phones to send and receive emails.

Email and SMS are both forms of service for one party to send a message containing a text message to another party. But behind the scenes, the implementation of these two services is completely different. In layman's terms, SMS is sent over the same voice network as making calls, while e-mails are sent on the same data network as surfing the Internet. Corresponding to the current mobile phone display interface, the top of the general machine screen is displayed "signal", that is, the connection quality of the voice network, and then there is 2G or something, which represents the connection quality of the data network. When connected to the voice network, it may not be able to connect to the data network, and at this time, you can make calls and send text messages normally; When you are connected to a data network, you must also be connected to a voice network before you can send emails.

In the 2G era, of course, there is also a strange thing that Qualcomm has implemented in the United States to use CDMA network in the 2G era. For SMS, the signaling network is used, and there is a length limit, so even a very slow network can send and receive SMS smoothly, but for ordinary websites and mail services, such a network speed is too slow, and the complete email content may not be seen for 5 minutes after loading. As a result, people have come up with a solution to convert website content, email content, and other app content to this protocol, so that they can see the content on their phones. The result is the WAP protocol that we are all familiar with.

In such an era, the wap network of China's mobile phone Internet can be said to be extremely concise, only containing the necessary text content, no way, if you install other things, the mobile phone network can not be transmitted. With the WAP protocol, you can now go to the website and send emails. But your mailbox is Sohu mailbox, it is NetEase mailbox, and it is a special software, so you have to log in to your own email service website with your mobile phone to send and receive emails, and then you can enter the inbox to view emails. So isn't this a waste of traffic fees? But in Japan, they are a wonder, NTT-I have worked another service - I-touch de. Note that i-Touch DE is a comprehensive service platform that uses the L protocol. This service platform claims to have faster transmission speeds than WAP, and it also integrates an email service, so that Japanese people can send and receive emails on their mobile phones as long as they set up a little bit on the mail server and let the server automatically forward emails to the i-Touch de platform.

Therefore, in the 2G era, people in most parts of the world except the United States and Japan, of course, including the Chinese, the functions on the screen of everyone's mobile phones are "calls, text messages, contacts, browsers", while the functions on the screen of Japanese mobile phones are "calls, text messages, mail, contacts". The Japanese, on the other hand, have also made full use of the habit of infighting - their communication providers have actually not been interconnected until now! That's right, our China's mobile and China Unicom have long been interconnected, even if it is a little delayed or something, it is more advanced than Japan, which is not interconnected at all! So this means that if Japanese people use their mobile phones to send text messages, they can't send them directly to friends who use mobile phones from different carriers! How else does this make people use text messages?

But then again, this has led to a very strange phenomenon, that is, on the surface, in fact, if you talk about it in general, the Internet coverage in Japan is high, but this kind of coverage is high, in fact, individuals are using mobile phones to surf the Internet, and they are not using the Internet to browse other websites or anything, but to send emails - in fact, it is equivalent to monthly traffic, such a cost of sending emails to each other is about equal to no money! In fact, the traffic that is really used for the concept of surfing the Internet is still quite small. Especially in Japan, I don't know what the reason, maybe because of the relatively small investment in fixed networks or because the price of real estate and land is too expensive, which leads to the fact that they actually use network cables at home to access the Internet, the cost is still quite high, which leads to the fact that in the end, not only rich families do not have fixed networks!
