Before taking the course New Media, I had little to know knowledge of this thing called Second Life. I knew a computer had to be used to have access to it, but other than that, you could have told me pretty much anything and I would have believed it.
Second Life was certainly an experience, and something that blew me away. I think it is unbelievable how the availability and access of communications has evolved from just 10 years ago. Employees in Brazil can hook up with a business partner in Vancouver simply by logging onto a computer. Deal's can be made from different ends of the world.
With that said, I am not fan of Second Life. Maybe I'm not "nerd" enough, but it just does not appeal to me. I don't see why someone would pay to be on there, unless it was for business reasons. While there are advertising and other marketing opportunities associated with the program, I see Second Life mostly as a waste of time.
I understand that there are a large number of people who enjoy Second Life as more than just an outlet for work, but I am not one of them.
