A multitude of uses

More and more, the Japanese are using social media to get informed on a mass of subjects, but also to shop. As they tend to ask for advice from their entourage, these users are thus less impressionable through advertising. As a result, this leads to a behavioural modification. Beforehand, the Japanese preferred to pay more in order to get better quality. With the anonymity offered by the internet however, a bridge between the customs of North-Americans and the Japanese can be seen. In fact, the Japanese have begun to buy cheaper products thanks, among others, to the mass arrival of online shops.
