If this article does not prove that SecondLife is more then a game, then nothing may be convincing. As with any new technology, it might start as a hobby or fun thing to tinker with. Look at the history of the personal computer. It hardly did anything compared to what it can do in the here and now. We now have the Internet, 3-D virtual realties, like SecondLife, and many more wonders in years to come.
Text 100: Branding building in Second Life
At first SecondLife was a platform for technical geeks to get their feet wet. Now people and businesses are making real life money inworld of SecondLife. Believe it or not, they are making more money in SecondLife then in their previous jobs. SecondLife is not an easy street. There is no such thing. If it is easy to make, then it will be even easier to destroy. To get something done right, it takes a lot of time and hard work.
The success of SecondLife was not done over night. SecondLife has been around for 5 years now. A lot of things have changed and grown beyond the original idea that Linden Lab, the creator of SecondLife, had at the beginning. With the economy bad all throughout the world, could SecondLife or any other future technology be the answer? SecondLife does have a future, but it may not mean it is the solution. Personally, I believe that it will take more than one concept to turn things around for the better. SecondLife may be the form in witch things may progress to a better tomorrow, but there is a lot more that needs to be done in regarding the economic issues.
I have said this and I will say it again, I strongly believe that the major issues we all face throughout the world regarding our economic downhill battle are growing pains of moving from the machine/industrial age to the technical age of tomorrow. Even in the United States of America, most governments, businesses, and even individuals do not use the technology of tomorrow as they should be doing. Progress is not being comfortable within one's surroundings. One must eventually get off their butts and be able to try new things for the better of life, business, or whatever.
Some businesses and individuals are using today's and tomorrow's technology, but sadly not enough of them. Let's face it, the Internet is the most used thing today. The Internet has grown very fast since the 1990s to the present day. It started with BBS (Bulletins Boards) to 3-D virtual reality. How wonderful is that, and how much has it shown that the technology age is here already. The only direction techology is going is forward, faster and faster.
The article states that SecondLife can be difficult for new comers. Of course it is difficult. As with anything in life, beginners do have a ruff start, but through learning and applying what they have learned, the difficulties becomes understood. How many years does a child have to live at home in order to be trained to live as an adult and one day on its own? Using SecondLife is an constant on going process. There might be books out there to learn the basics of how to use SecondLife, but there is not one book on how to live inworld. As with real life, children are raised by parents are guardians. If the child rearing is done right, the children will be ready when they become adults.
Bad training in the basic use of SecondLife is no different. SecondLife is virtual reality of real life. With slight differences, what you can do in real life, you can do in SecondLife. That is why there are so many using this 3-D virtual reality. What will happen tomorrow is anyone's guess.
Blessed Be to Isis and you,
