An American otaku (or, a boy’s virtual life on the net)

Abstract

Japan, the land of Sony, Toshiba and Nintendo; Japan, the world’s vanguard postindustrial, information-and technology-based economy, has few computers in classrooms and little media education in the curriculum. To put this observation in the form of a zen koan: how can a country be among the world leaders in cutting edge technology and new media when (unlike Britain) media education is not part of their regular curricula and (unlike the United States) their classrooms are not full of computers and modems?
