Excuse me for a minute while I sound like a high school student. Second Life. I don’t get it. It must be nice to escape into a world where you can live your fantasies. If you’re having a bad day, or bored of your everyday run of the mill activities you can escape into a virtual world. With the click of your fingertips the possibilities are endless. Except for the very few people who actually enjoy their job, the majority of us would rather not spend our days working. I’m currently in school full time, but I can relate to the working world woes. I know I would rather spend my days doing fun activities than tied to my job. I was shocked to see the number of people who had jobs in the virtual world. I don’t know, perhaps they are experimenting with a career change? Not only are people playing with careers, but they are playing with their bodies as well. Are people that unhappy with reality that they have to join a virtual world to make them happy? Is this really going to benefit society or will we be hearing more stories on the news about the rise of body image issues?
