Just go into a store and you will see people on the cell phone when checking out, or walking along talking on their phones instead of interacting, it seems the more "digitized" we become the more "unsocial" we become. Maybe with second life we can also learn to interact once again (unless they introduce the virtual cell phone, maybe they have).candice.jones2https://www.blogger.com/profile/11127391034404058616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5467643611030466690.post-22048650653925697102012-07-26T10:16:29.482-07:002012-07-26T10:16:29.482-07:00Cheryl and CJ; good points recognizing that many d...Cheryl and CJ; good points recognizing that many desire a virtual change because they are not disciplined enough or fortunate to create their changes. It does however promote an anonymous chance to collaborate, become comfortable in an environment where intra-personal skills can grow.

Do you think this "freedom to do or be who you want to be" will continue or do you think second life will begin to mimic the first life as it blends?candice.jones2https://www.blogger.com/profile/11127391034404058616noreply@blogger.com
