Good Points: Massive online world where you can have real life / avatar relationships with more than 4 million account holders
Bad Points: Too much in game advertising
General comments: This is an interesting way to kill time / waste your life.A brave new world has been created using the title "second life".You can access it on your PC with a password and your credit card. And as soon as you arrive, you can easily convince yourself that you are seeing the future - or at least one future - of entertainment and interaction and business.Second Life is a vast shared online simulation that allows you to create a lifelike version of yourself - an avatar - live in a community, buy property with currency that has a dollar exchange rate, travel, shop, work, watch films and music, fall in love, maybe get rich, without once leaving your desk. Created in 2003 by a company called Linden Lab, the population of Second Life when I arrived a month or so ago was 3 million. A month later we numbered more than a 4 million.The simple genius of Second Life is that it combines elements of Big Brother culture with the spirit of eBay. It plays to the contemporary urge to project ourselves into every story, to write our own emotions larger than anyone else's, to perform rather than to listen, to blog rather than read. And it also offers unlimited opportunities to shop.Happy if you have nothing else better to do, like live your life!!
