Second life

I have, as millions of other people around the world, created an avatar in Second Life. I have spent quite a few hours in this virtual world, and now ... my opinion of Second Life in just a few words ... What a load of rubbish!!!

I've seen article after article in different media, serious media like CNN and Time Magazine and so on, praising this so called "phenomena" that Second Life is supposed to be. However, having used it for some time now, I can without doubt conclude that what we have here is just another hyped "game" that can't live up to its expectations.

Don't get me wrong, I believe there probably is some potential in Second Life, but as for now they still have a long way to go before they can play a major role in peoples' lives. I look forward to when the technology has caught up with the idea of Second Life. That's when I will start taking it seriously and use it for real!
