What is Second Life for?
Second life is for anybody who wishes to create an alter ego and create themselves a ‘second life’.
It provides people with the opportunity to, as put by Sherry Turkle discussing MUD’s, “express multiple and often unexplored aspects of the self, to play with their identity and to try out new ones”.
It is also used by many real businesses and educational institutions (one example being IBM) who wish to integrate their real business into the Second Life Grid. They can then use spaces for communication, collaboration, training, and virtual meetings / classes.

ReplyDeleteDo you think the idea of virtual classes is good in regards to Second Life? I personally would hate to have to try and use the program for formal interaction of any kind, it felt amateur and unrealistic.
