Second Life

After participating in Second Life, I thought it was kinda interesting. My name is Maaaark Gothly haha in the game. It was very confusing to do things, but I made a friend almost instantly and they showed me how to transport and do many different tasks. Although, I felt it was more of a video game than a social tool so it seemed alittle boring. When I play in virtual worlds I can usually break into a car and blow things up, to me I think it's more of a thrill then just walk around and talk to people. I don't have trouble communicating with people in the real world so I do need an escape like second life to be social with people. I was also skeptical of what people actually feel about this program, I almost could not take it serious. I end up carrying around a sword and flying around while everyone just walked around and chatted with other people. The person that became my friend said they have been using this program for 2 years, to me seemed a little strange because I probably will not go back on because it was boring and useless. This kind of activity is definitely not for me, I like to go out as much as possible and experience the real world. I'm sure this is perfect for other people that have difficulty going out and communicating with people. I was also concerned about how there was no age requirements and you really do not know who you were talking to, either a male-female, older-younger it was hard to decide who to talk to. Anyways I had my fun, but like I said Second life is not for me and I don't believe I'll be going back on anytime soon.
