Imagine what would happen when you show up at a meeting with the mayor of New York City in plain T-shirt and jeans, or the time you crack jokes that are not particularly appropriate for negotiatings business transactions, or all the better the time you just loose it in an event of emergency and, unfortunately, bring something to death? Though we don’t usually have a second chance in real life, there are always several ones for us in Second Life, an on-line game that has gained trmendous popularity over the last couple of years around the globe.
Instead of casual interpersonal intercourses between avatars or vigorously slaying mythical creatures of medieval time, what’s unique with Second Life is the platform it opens to the tens of thousands of its registers for real-life pratices. You can see students woking on a virtual oil-spilling reenactment of today’s accident in the Guld of Mexico. Still, turn around and you can see students learning the dos and don’ts throughout a string of practices the game offers, let it be a lesson in work ethic or social gaffes that it would only make people so glad that they are not heppening for real.
As the time advances, virtual computing like Second Life has emerged and defined itself as the looking-glass of our world right now, providing efiicient ways for people to learn. It only seems that the trend is inevitable anyway in the future.
