> I can share an anecdote how slow tech adoption is in Korea. It is not exactly about tech in public section but in private companies. I assume public section has slower adoption rate than private ones in general.

I guess it's not all tech, but at least in telecoms I thought they were very quick to adopt new tech? 2nd in the world to commercially deploy 3G W-CDMA, world first LTE-Advanced [1], "first fairly substantial deployments" of 5G [2]. 90% of broadband via fibre (used to be #1 amongst OECD countries for some time, now it's only just #2).
