These 3-D virtual reality systems are not great because they may appear to be cool and fun. These applications can be used to have fun, but they can do more for just about everyone in life. Let me say it in another way.
When the Internet became public, how many believe that the Internet would not amount to anything? Today, businesses are making millions upon millions of dollars by the use of the Internet. There are more people shopping online and doing business of all sort by the use of the Internet. So what makes these 3-D virtual realities so popular? They are simply a humongous step up from the 2-D Internet that has made tons of money for people.
Of course money is not all that the Internet provides. For the first time people that cannot walk or move around like the average person can finally do that with in the 3-D virtual environments. Right now, SecondLife is so advanced that one can easily believe how real the surroundings can be. It is so real in SecondLife that there is no limit to what can be done within this system. That is why over a million have logged into SecondLife every two months or 60 days.
Companies have their own land in SecondLife, like Cisco System, Intel, IBM, Dell, Microsoft, Man Power....to name a very short few. Colleges are starting to use SecondLife as well. Many more schools have used the 2-D Internet very successfully. Now with a 3-D Internet, or web3, schools can use this 3-D environment to teach a lot more. Business are starting to use this environment for training their employees. Medical professionals have used it.
Teaching in the Age of Technology
Ohio University Second Life Campus
Before, the medical professionals have used dummies to train students. With a 3-D live interactive system like SecondLife, students can learn a lot more. By a real person controlling the avatars and the whole entire scenario, the students can learn how to deal with a better understanding of the full real life goings on in how to respond with patients. Without this 3-D virtual environment, there is no better way for medical students to truthfully interact with education on this matter.
People that cannot walk can do so in SecondLife. There are therapeutic ideals to 3-D virtual reality. In the aspect of people that cannot walk or function with all body parts in the real world, they can do so in a 3-D virtual environment. Even though one cannot function physically does not mean their life is over with. With this new technology, people can function with their minds and do things that they might not be able to do in the real world.
Virtual World Attracts Disabled
By any means these 3-D virtual worlds are a divorcement of reality or running away from it. In all aspects, 3-D virtual environments like SecondLife can enhance the real world in just about every way. Truly, there is no limit to the human endeavor when it comes to technology and the willingness to use it for the better of mankind.
I could if I wanted to present all aspects of how this new technology can benefit all aspects of life. One is not going to fully understand this until they right now go out and experience this technology for themselves. There are so much more to experience to fully understand all of what I have said in this blog posting and others. As with real life, an instructor cannot teach a student everything in the classroom. There are times that the student is going to have to get her/his hands dirty and get inside life itself.
There are no right or wrong ways in doing things in life. Each one of us are different; though, we all needs to learn to work together. These days in the job place, it takes thinking on everyone's part and teamwork. The mindless drone type employment is gone, thank God. Each and everyone of us needs to think on our own merit and be responsible for our own actions. In this new Technology Age we all live in, we have to learn to behave a different way that was done in the past.
This new Technology Age is set before us to grab with both hands. We are expected to hold on with both hands and hold on tight. The ride on this Technology Age is a fast pace one. New things have evolved at alarming rates. Spite our economy, the Technology Age is still pushing forward. It has not stopped or slowed down one bit. That is why I strongly believe what we are going through, for the most part, regarding our falling economy is growing pains of change.

The United States and the world have gone through this in years past when the Machine Age came to pass. We all have survived then, and we will survive once again. With the endeavor of mankind, we all have strived to better ourselves spite all the catastrophes in life. We simply evolved in something better and better.
Blessed Be to Isis and you,
