I met Digital Reiko when we both appeared on stage in Tokyo as part of a panel discussion of "digital culture." She's shy, poised, intelligent, but does seem to have one fetish: in the hours I spent with her, before, during, and after our panel discussion, she always had at least one hand on her portable computer. As one addict can recognize another, I understood that she was itching to find a telephone cable, plug it into her PowerBook's modem, and retrieve her e-mail. I believed her when she told me she's serious about never leaving her apartment again, once it is properly equipped. Reiko Chiba, nineteen, is planning to spend the rest of her life in cyberspace.
