Many people play video and computer games in todays society. There are multiple reasons of why people do so, such as entertainment and to escape their everyday lives. In this ever-changing world of virtual reality there is a new way people can immerse themselves into an online world.
The name of this is Second Life. It is growing so rapidly that people actually have jobs where they sell and design clothes in this virtual world. Many people create avatar like people and build a life for them in Second Life. There are even schools inside this website.
For example, Drury University, has online learning in Second Life. The students don't meet an actual classroom, they instead meet online. They are able to discuss all of their class topics and learn in a different manner. The only difference (while greatly different), is that they don't meet in person.
I think this is an awesome new tool for education and for pleasure. It will provide endless options for schools, businesses, and ordinary people to spend their time. It will be interesting to see how much more this site will grow with time.
