From familiar devices and convenient gadgets, to home appliances that enrich our lives, to new services. This is a serial project that focuses on the latest in tech. In the fifth installment, we will look at the Korean translation app "Papago."

The yen is so cheap, I hope it ends soon.
The yen has fallen so much that I feel like lamenting it in a haiku poem by Kai Michiko. It's said to be at a historic low, prices are rising, and at this rate I can't go abroad without worrying.
I want to say that, but I went to Thailand. Of course, it was for work. It was the best week of reporting. For details, please see the article on Houyhnhnm that will be published later. The weather and people are warm, and even though it has only been three days since I returned, I am already talking about wanting to go to Thailand.

Thanks to that, the project ended without any problems. But there are times when you have to do something on your own. It is in such a difficult situation that you should rely on technology.
