For Tuesdays class we had to create an acount on Second Life and go into it and play around for a bit. I have never been one to play video games, or computer games. I got Super Nintendo when I was like ten, and never got anything to replace it, because quite frankly I never played it. I have just never thought that it is fun to sit and play video games when there are so many other things to do that make a difference in the real world, not a virtual world. That being said, you can probably guess that I am not a big fan of second life.

When I first went into this virtual land, I had trouble doing anything because I have a slow learning curve when it comes to video game controls. I did figure out how to fucntion after a little bit of fidling, and I also discovered that you can fly in this world. You can pretty much walk or fly around wherever you want, and you can see that there are other people in the virtual world, doing the same thing that you are. You can talk to these people, and you can see that they are also real people somewhere, some just trying to have a good time, and some probably so unhappy with their lives that they need to create an avatar in a fictional world to live their lives through a computer game. I am not saying that everyone on this website is a loser or anything, but I do believe that there are a good number of people on there that really wish they could just live through second life instead of their real lives.
