virtual life
About virtual world’s discussion, we use second life on line game as an example. When second life was developed, a decision was made to use primitives, because they are lighter weight. But with respect to collaborative work and saying virtual worlds is a bad substitute for real life – I’m not sure I agree. With the introduction of voice, with shared viewing of objects, collaboration in these environments is extremely powerful. We can say that it was more human then much of what we experienced in the day light realm of live beings. You can hang out with different friends, talking, drinking. It’s wired if you don’t feel you are one of them right now. Even a kid under 15 is very familiar with these worlds, it’s usual for them to sample the thoughts to 20-30s people. As the same time, there are great place to exhibit your thoughts and experience, Such as the charity and memory in the video. They are even link the second life to the real one by using the virtual space the present the idea to people online, which is harder to show for a long time in the real realm and breaks the Geographical limitations to the whole world. So the second life is not just a game or says a bored person who is setting at the computer and tries to find some fun. It actually showing something positive to the world.
