Some things I learned in doing this library assignment are that Korea is just startign to get into Virtual Worlds. There are companies their competeting for the best online virtual world. They are inventing new forms of technology to make the virtual worlds really good. There are also a lot of books on virtual worlds that i didn't think there wuold be that much. One of the books was about game industries and businesses in virtual worlds, the second one was about new technologies and how they influence Virtual worlds. The first one reminded me of Second Life and how people can make a living off playing these virtual games, and how there was that controversy on online banks in games. I thought the newspaper article i found on world of war craft was the most interesting. I now think that playing video games helps people with scientific thinking skills. They game better computer skills and better problem solving skills. The researchers that wrote this news article found that about 80% of people who play world of war craft, talked on the online chat and shared knowledge on problem solving in the game.
