Second Life or The New Real Life

It started as a form of entertainment.  Just another web game.  This game was a way to access a virtual world of living the rich American Dream in whatever way you wanted.  It was virtual so anything you wanted became yours!  The virtual world has actually become a method of testing entrepreneurs talents and helping the disabled. This "game" is a way for people to overlook or not even notice the disabled people's problems.  Social skills or physical looks are not even a problem when it comes to the virtual world.  A project called live2give was created by nine adults with cerebral palsy so that they would have a chance to talk with others who take things in life for granted.  This website was a much greater success then the game developer ever imagined it would be.   The game is not only a second life, but a first life for many.  It has given great opportunities to many individuals who would've lived a life void of hope and success.  This virtual world is an example of success in networking.

  1. Second Life does provide significant educational opportunities that go beyond the original purpose of the game. It has been adapted for many productive purposes. This summary would be improved if it clearly stated the ways that Second Life can help various groups, including the disabled.
