Second Life

After much time table confusion and clashing, I dropped a course and picked this one up. I'm glad I did now, because it seems to be very interesting and technology is something that I really like and use on a daily basis.

Apparently in the first lecture a report by ABC's Four Corners was shown about the online game Second Life. Second Life is an Internet based virtual reality world launched in 2003, developed by Linden Research, Inc which came to international attention via mainstream news media in late 2006 and early 2007.

I actually remember watching this report while I was at home last year. Dad and myself were sitting there in utter amazement. I couldn't believe the amount of time and money that some people were putting into this online world! People were actually buying and selling virtual properties, clothes, goods and also themselves in some cases for real money.

I can think of better things to spend my money on, like a carton of corona's and concert tickets.
What a joke!
