Second Life
What is there to say about my Second Life experience? I was at first hesitant to try it because I never wanted to get involved in an experience like this one. I am already busy enough, and I don't really want a virtual life keeping me from experiencing things in my own life. That being said, I did my best to dive in and find out what it was all about. My first thought was how poorly the world operated on my computer. I have a laptop, and I think a desktop with some power would be needed to run this world properly. I was also struck by how basic the world looked. I do occasionally play Xbox, and am used to much better graphics. I did my best to navigate the worlds and talk to people, however I found it difficult to relate. For the most part I accomplished my tasks for the class and got off of the world. I can understand why some people might choose to use this in their lives. People need enjoyment, and whatever safe thing that brings them that is okay with me. I personally enjoy motorcycling, sports, music, and the gym. I did have one moment I enjoyed, and that was jumping the Jeep I was test driving over a hill. I was also able to drive it under water and I thought that was a funny experience. Other than that though I can honestly say I hope that I never have to experience Second Life again. I will forever and always prefer real life human interaction.
