They do adopt new tech though, just like 20 years after everyone else
There are so many places in Germany where one cannot pay with a bank card, and even if card payments are possible, it has to a specific German bank card most of the time. Bank cards were introduced in the late eighties, so 1988 is a pretty adequate description of the technical state of Germany.
Wasn’t there like a HUUUUGE digitalization effort in Germany a few years ago where they dared to abolish fax-machines in official buildings? Quite futuristic for Germany
