Virtual world is a new way for people to interaction with one another. It is a life outside the real life and as people get used to it, it could be used in many ways. For instance, Second Life. As mentioned in "In Room 100, It’s Sid and Nancy All Over Again" by Saki Knafo that Second Life is a multiuser virtual environment, a computer program that lets online users construct settings and hang out in them, using video-game-like characters called avatars. Second Life brings a great opportunity for hospital employees to improve patient care and hospital efficiency because of those functions and abilities, "Second Life has increasingly being used to train medical and nursing students in clinical skills",Stephanie Simon said in "Avatar II: The Hospital". Virtue world is also a great tool for business; many companies out there begin to use Second Life to communicate.
Virtual world also becomes a part of our real world for some people, especially for kids. In Brian Hindo's article, he mentioned that many companies are trying to make money by create the similar new products that link real-world toys with the Web. That causes a lot of kids spend much of their time and money focus on the virtue world.
Virtual world could be attractive because people could use their imagination to create their own dream world and connect that world with our real world. In the future, everyone might be depending on the virtual world to live on this real world.
