Second Life

My first impressions of this virtual world were bad and depressing. I just thought about how there are actually people who use these virtual worlds to replace their reality. I find it really sad that people use technology to make a fake world for themselves. My experience/visit for SL was short. Walking around meeting virtual people was sad and depressing. I found it hard to even take this assignment seriously to be honest. I don’t see the point in creating this avatar. I would have rather read about people using virtual worlds than actually having to experience it myself. But since this was homework, I’ll introduce my avatar. My avatar is a dog named Dingon. It doesn’t have a place of origin or occupation. If it had interests/hobbies, I would assume they would be tennis balls, running around but also being lazy, fetch, barking and smelling everything.
