I already encountered a similar device to take picture of street walker in Ljubljana but the device was much smaller to keep the user privacy. Korea is quite protectionnist for importing goods, they are making most of their electronic for and by korean (this is also a reason why they can afford so much electronic regarding the average salary). Hence, serie of specific product is designed to work only there. Electronic convergence is great to get price down. Maybe now is it time for divergence, to become more specific. Electronic is one symbol of globalisation, can it become region centered, specific to each culture?
