Second Life

Second Life makes possible many things we can only imagine, yet want to see played out: A jet powered dragon dancing on a French Nude Beach for example! To begin making the imaginary real, users begin by choosing an avatar and going through a short course introducing them to the basic functions of their character. After that they are free to roam the expansive digital universe. Users can discover new areas and people by flying or they can teleport directly to any hot spot. Users can “talk” with other Second Life Residents using a proximity chat function which allows one user to speak to everyone within a certain distance of themselves. There is also an option for private chat with any individual a user may encounter.More serious residents can build structures, host parties or buy islands in addition to roaming and chatting. The marketplace for digital assets is large with transfers of millions of U.S. dollars monthly. Building a virtual home may actually get you some U.S. cash instead of shelter for your avatar.
