why do retards think Berlin or any other eu city is anywhere near us or china in terms of technology? germany's "developed" cities feel like living in the 80s. Most of the chinks probably live like that too but atleast their smart cities are in fact smart and well integrated technologically

yeah man, i guess we should just tear down entire cities every decade or so and start over

Depends on you definition of what a smart city is.

Amsterdam has traffic lights that recognize bicycle and pedestrian traffic for instance.

I would not compare germany with any other country technologically. We are totally retarded in that category, official entities still use FAX machines and you pay >50€ a month for 12 Mbps anywhere outside the cities, same price for about 100Mbps in the cities and if you're really extremely lucky you have a fiber uplink that can be accurately described with the word "Wucherpreise". 

>Why is this the case?

, you may ask. It is because every IT company in germany is scrambling to upgrade german infrastructure (in their very slow and incompetent way), and meet proper german geezers and geezettes going

>fiber? whats that? No, i dont want no fiber. Leave me alone. I dont want glass fiber to end up in my lungs. My internet working fine.

And without that permission they are not permitted to upgrade the whole neighborhood.

for whatever reason, any western cities will never be as cyberpunk as this. why?

>>92974662 (OP)

>feel like living in the 80s

If that were true at least. It's more like living in 1980s Beirut or Mogadishu now.

Smart

>>92974662 (OP)

Let's skip what, >>92976262 already covered that. But out of all european cities to be "technological" relevant how did Berlin jumped to your head?

OP is retarded.

What you loose in "smartness" in Germany you gain in privacy.

>Less surveillance

>Cash instead of cards and whatnot

>No smart cards to use trains

Sure it's convenient to get on a train with your fancy smartcard that's on your nfc phone which is linked to your bank so you never need to think about anything, however that way you feed the botnet. Germany is simply put a privacy haven where surrounding countries have embraced the surveillance botnet with open arms. And don't get me started on china and the US.

lmao what? Is this bait? Germans are ruthlessly against privacy. You guys are about to ban encryption

There is not a single american city that is close to Guangzhour or Shanghai, you are less digitalised, cities are dirty and not safe.

>>92974662 (OP)

OP putting LED strips on the outside of all your buildings isn't really making your city any technologically superior to any other. It's making it harder for your residents to fall the fuck asleep.

>lots of shiny lights and you can use the same prepaid card for the tube and taxis

wow, very smart, i wish i could live in such an advanced city

the chinese obsession with "harmony" is a little psychotic.

>thinking chinks are any better than poos

>There is not a single american city that is close to Guangzhour or Shanghai, you are less digitalised, cities are dirty and not safe.

>>92974662 (OP)

Living in one of those cities would literally be hell which is why their women come here to jerk me off for 60 bucks and live in the back of a massage parlor

>yeah man

i'm really sick of you boomers polluting this board
