Have you heard of Second Life?  Don’t worry, I hadn’t either until this past week in one of my grad classes.  We are reading a book this week titled Snow Crash.It is a futuristic tale and a large part of the action takes place in a virtual reality world much like Second Life. 

Second life and the idea behind it amazes me.  People actually buy and sell property.  You can buy clothes–digital of course and made by other on line.  There is the exchanging of currency, etc.  I checked it out only long enough to learn how to change my appearance and am not really inclined to go back.  I guess I shouldn’t really be surprised by this, as it really is just more advanced facebooking/myspacing.  I have a hard enough time in my first life trying to take care of all I need to take care of that I can’t even imagine trying to live a second life. 

So who out there has a second life?  One that is computer related not one in which you like to dress up like the opposite sex and be dressed like a baby–that seems almost normal….
