eMarketer:Online Ad Spend Will Keep Growing

The Internet in the 21st Century and Beyond.

After reading this article, it made me realize what I have been saying about SecondLife is about the same thing in this article. As I have stated before, it is not easy to make decent things in SecondLife. To truly use these 3-D virtual worlds like SecondLife, one must have the most updated computer, video card, and all the rest. This is not easy or cheap.

If Linden Labs can do what they said they were going to do, then SecondLife can make it, but in a much different manner than it has in the past six years. I would like to see SecondLife go forward. This is all up to Linden Labs, the ones that have created this 3-D Virtual Reality. There are schools in SecondLife. This list is 27 pages long, so be careful of printing out this list. If so many businesses and schools did not use SecondLife, this 3-D virtual reality might not have lasted 3 years less alone 6 years.

Do not get me wrong, I am for technical progress. I guess I am writing this post because I am sadden that SecondLife is dying, and I want it to continue. I also see that SecondLife can make a difference in the economic down trends. Social Networking is constantly growing and growing. More ane more are using it like no one's business. These social networking services are more than making tons of friends in both personal or business formats.

Like in the conventional real life, the success of the Internet is how we communicate with one another. Can you make real friends online? Yes and no. What is more important is how you work with others online. No matter what we think, the Internet is here to stay, and it is apart of our lives. We have medical science, as we have it today, because of how technology has made a difference in our lives.

In every walk of life, we use some sort of computer technology: cell phones, laptops, desktop, hand held devices, etc. In the past, we have heard that using so much technology was a scary thing. Fear causes so much trouble in life. "Fear leads to hate, and hate leads to suffering." -- Yoda "Star Wars: Episode I: The Phantom Menace (1999).

There is no dangers in a fast and growing technical world. If SecondLife is going to live on, we need to accept it, and take advantage of it. Even if Linden Labs did a lot better in running SecondLife, it needs customers. To make SecondLife better, Linden Labs needs to make a way so it is easier to design things in SecondLife. Right now, it is only possible for computer geeks to successfully do things and design things in SecondLife.

Designing websites these days are very easy to do. Using SecondLife needs to be just as easy. These days, one does not need to know how to use HTML to create a website or a blog. Do we care about the code when we use any form of social media? I do not, and I am a computer geek myself (though I am not a coder). Even in writing this blog posting, I am not concerned about the HTML, JavaScript code, or any other coding that is in this posting. Why should I care as long as what I want to be posted runs properly for my readers in this blog?

That is what I am saying here about SecondLife. Things needs to be a lot easier to use, create, or whatever than it has been. Ask yourself this question: "Why is social media working while SecondLife is falling far behind?" If Twitter or Facebook was in some form or 3-D format, they would still be growing just as fast as they are now. It has nothing to do directly with some kind of 3-D fad. SecondLife is failing due how difficult it is to interact within that system.
