Second life - a game?

On the personal context, having explored second life.. it still appears to be a like an imaginative online game?.. the graphical content gives me a headache... how about if they make this more surreal rather than cartoon character like..! The actual feeling ...?

Would it not be wonderful if this could happen in real life?.. telepath instantly to another country rather than sitting hours on flight journey...! [travel sickness]!

Was just thinking in G8 leaders are able but unwilling to act, would they be able to meet up in second life rather than hold direct communication meeting... [whilst meeting, the public too can attend - more voice of concerns is better than none?] can they not incorporate some creativity in the element of discussion?.. as elaborated by Sachs (2008) "Time is short, since global problems are mounting rapidly".

It's all in the news and paper! - "G20 summit." - I wonder ...would they be able to meet in second life?... to discuss the domain topic of public finances? This would be good I think if they went virtual instead of the need and time for the preparation of the "operation" - one click of the internet (with the comfort zone of home) :) costing merely little in comparison with "£21 million" (Metro, 2009). Reflecting from the view... does this mean that we are being taxed too much that they have too much money to waste?.. What about thinking of other countries which are barely meeting these and struggling with the day to day life?... (Why protest?!) and waste even more tax payers for the clear up operation?..

.... adapt before it's too late??

  1. Man-Chie be patient, researchers and developers are currently at the earlier stages of virtual reality... it will take time to produce a real life environment, this will hopefully be possible in the next decade or two?

    In real life their is so many limitations and yet Second life offers the opportunity to explore a whole new world (like fantasy)...!

    All I can say about the World Leaders meeting up in Second Life would be strange ... ?

    Nice snow men... do they resemble anybody... ;-)


    I be back with more...

  2. Ravi,

    What makes you think that it is strange?.. However you may be right, as I do agree such as the formality, but the written context above was a bit of insight ?.. :)

    I have not been able to so far yet find information on this .. to support my view but I will!..

    This is rather interesting: ===>> Educators Get a ‘Second Life’
