Second Life takes Advantage of Reality
When I first heard of second life I did not know what to think; a virtual world where you can interact with different users and create a new identity. You are fluctuated into a world with potential love interests, money to use, and even career opportunities and social networking?
We read about how people change their identity. Should they really do this? Now there is social networking and career opportunities on these virtual websites. People can network on Second Life and meet potential employers in the real world. I am personally not a fan of this. I believe in face to face relationships. Face book and social networking websites are great for keeping in touch with people but they make us lose a face to face connection. We need to get back with reality.

I agree with you Alyssa, i think that by creating all this new techology, it is taking away from face to face communication which i believe is the foundation of any business. If you cant interact with your colleagues, how will you function well as a cohesive unit in the business world?
I agree that we need to get back to reality, but I can also see the value of these new ways of social networking. Obviously, as of now there isn’t going to be that diverse of a crowd on most of these networking sites because it's kind of a geeky thing to do... you will probably only find people who are "technically savvy", but if this becomes like facebook, where anyone can do it... the social network will expand and something like second-life could be much more useful.
