I wonder what similar data from the US/UK/CAN would look like.

Also, I’m going to guess that the 9% of people who don’t use any appliances at home are the teenagers and not some old man who lives in some inaka mountains with virtually nothing but a cell phone to do surveys with. Even still though, I find it hard to believe that a teen wouldn’t check out the fridge or watch TV or use a computer once in a while!

About the analog TV’s that were bought in the last month, I’d bet people bought them because of how cheap some of them have become. There are even some flat screen analog TV/monitors that would work just fine for DVD watching or video game use in a bedroom or extra room, and I wouldn’t be surprised if that was the case. You can get a small flat screen for under a 万 and you can probably get a regular analog TV for around 2000 yen at a used shop.
