Second Life
Second
Life really took me with! :)
It
took one whole day and night reading everything what you can do in
Second Life.
I
am impressed and amazed by how many activities are already possible
in Second Life.
I
have extremely limited experience in general of the game world or
“another reality”.
I
have never logged into Second Life and the closest same kind of
experience I had when I played Sims game. That was really fun though!
I
tried to think about the companies that could use Second Life and
mostly I was thinking about the companies that sell products or
services aimed to young people.
Second
Life is particularly suitable for communication and education
purposes and many Finnish universities
are already involved in Second Life.
Here is an example of Aalto University using Second Life:
"A new concept for learning and teaching biotechnology and chemistry in Aalto University:"
"Repeating practicals without any hazards, costs or preparations..."
"and achieving the goals for motivation, independent work and learning-by-doing."
"Virtual objects encourage the development of stronger conceptual understanding."
I
can well imagine to addend to a course on Second Life, it could be so
much fun! Or why not have a interesting seminar on Second Life?
I
also found out that Second Life has increased the awareness of
sustainable living. Not bad!
Speaking of philosophies – check out

On the other hand, the idea that you could explore your future apartment with avatar is interesting! Or how about finding a job or discover your future employer through Second Life?”
On the other hand I'm afraid to sink to this “another reality” a lot. Somehow, it seems to me that after a virtual world you can not be able to dull everyday life. Am I totally old-fashioned?
