I have been saying that SecondLife can what will turn this economy around. It seems that it is pointing in that direction by this article. Not only can this 3-D virtual reality can improve on the economy, but it can make a difference in our environment. Instead of using more of our natural resources, companies and al kinds of people can start using 3-d virtual creations.
What might boggle the mind of so many is how can a 3-d virtual world replace the real one? Believe it or not, nothing is being replaced or taken over. SecondLife is a extension of the real world is such a way that it can be possible to do things that might be possible in real life. The biggest obstacle we have is "how much does it cost." In a 3-D virtual world it cost a very small fraction to what it might cost in real life. Anyone can use any form of virtual reality to do things, train others, or whatever that would be impossible in the real conventional world we live in
Technology is a tool, and nothing more. Used right, technology can make our jobs a lot easier. It has never or could ever replace the human being or the wonderful mind of human beings. All the science fiction movies and stories on machines taking over the man is right down silly at best and pure ignorant propaganda on the worse. Computers, machines, or anything else cannot replace anyone now or in the far future. It will be man that will create and control technology. The creation can never replace the creator.
Many companies, schools, individuals have used all kinds of Internet resources. SecondLife is far from the first or best in what is is out there right now. A lot has changed in the technical (computer) field in the 21 first Century. Even with economic downfalls, I still see the wonders making our lives better and better. Jobs might be losing the battle in the real world, but has anyone really see the possibilities of jobs online? Training in any job can be done in ways that could not be possible in the conventional means. The biggest achievement of SecondLife is the combination of people and corporations have been communicating with each other with great easy.
There are many others forms of social networking systems out there: Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, Mixx, Stumble Upon, instant massaging, blogging, etc. I would not be a bit surprised to see new and better forms of communicating with others online. That is the core reason why

Spamming is not social networking. I have blocked many, and continue to block anyone from my Twitter account that all they do is push, sell, or anything of the sort. Social networking is far more then sharing wares online. Respect is also an important thing in social media. Poeple have been fired from their jobs by what they have added to their Facebook account.
In SecondLife, one can be a male, female, robot, animal, or anything they want to be. It how you interact with others that is important. Another words if you would not come up to your boss and tell him/her that they are jerks, then do not do it online. Common sense is the key. There are all walks of life online. By showing tolerance of who and what they are will allow them to do the same for your differences.
In SecondLife, not only meetings can be done. One can look for jobs at a virtual job fair. Business, schools, and all sorts can train their students in SecondLife is ways that might not be possible in the conventional real life. The possibilities are rightfully endless in SecondLife and any social networking medium.
