Have you ever wanted to be somebody else or change something in your life? Have you ever dreamed about changing the shape of your nose so that you will look better or maybe you always wanted to lose this hateful 10 kg?
Nowadays everything is possible and without spending tones of money on plastic surgeries, our powerful technology has given us a chance to change our lives but… in virtual world, sounds crazy, right?
Personally for me it was something new to listen about almighty Internet and its virtual world known as 'Second life', thanks to Abel I became more modern and knowledgeable about social media this week.
So what is ‘Second life’? Honestly, I have never came across this online computer game before, because when I this game came out we all were playing Sims and the Internet connection that time was very lousy in Russia.
In Secod Life you create yourself in virtual world, most interestingly that you can change everything what you want starting from your appearance to your gender…
Second live encourages social interaction, because a lot of people feel themselves more comfortable to communicate with others in virtual world.
And statistic is striking!!! According to Reuters:
· more than 10 million Second Life accounts were created
· around 1.5 million residents log into virtual world every month
· more than 1 million US dollars are spent in Second Life each day
This video is an example of what Second Life is; however, I have decided to look at a contradictory issue in Second Life - virtual sex.
Maybe this is another reason for some people to engage in this game, different people have different intentions.
As long as people communicate Second Life is considered as social media.
