There is the old saying that in the 80s Japan was in the 2000s but they are still stuck in the 2000s today.

In a broad sense yes, but in narrow ones, no. Japan leads in certain things like some robotics and elder support technology. Faxes are still required to do even get internet through NTT here. We're slowly being able to do more electronically, but definitely have a long way to go there. I had to go in to get help with my taxes and they had me do it all on my smartphone, which I think started in the last couple of years.
