| Second Life |
| Saturday, February 23, 2008 |
Have you ever heard of this? Second Life? It is supposedly the new way of life. I just signed up, but I know very little. My understanding is that you create an avatar, and you do life. (Maybe somewhat like Sims) People are setting up business conferences, study groups, and even concerts this way.
My friend Boss Lady will appreciate that recently Bon Jovi performed a concert in Second Life. Each member created an avatar, and set up "equipment" in one of the court yards, with their instruments connected to the computer they performed live for all Second Life members. Afterwards, other members were welcome to "shake hands" with Bon Jovi.
Another very cool story...a couple from England are both fans of Second Life. Their 20 year anniversary was coming up so the husband along with several of their friends rented a ballroom, decorated and set up for a party, and created his wife a beautiful dress. He left her a note to log on at a certain time, and they had an Anniversary party. They danced together for the first time in almost 20 years because 2 months after they married she was paralyzed in a car accident.
And more practically, my friends son has set up a study group where each night they come home and divide up the homework and get it all done. It's networking.
I have just created an avatar. My Second Life Name is "Skittles Latte" You can create your first name and must choose from their large list of last names. You can do business, earn and spend money, open a business, buy and sell land, and even apply for credit.
This just may be the future! See you there!Labels: Second Life |
