Something I've learned this semester is how much people use Second Life, or Virtual Worlds in general in their life. I didn't think businesses would set up places in Second Life, or candidates used second life to get more people to vote for them. A lot of people's lives revolve around second life, they use it to meet new people, make a living off of, or just be themselves where maybe in the realworld they aren't as accepting. I think it's interesting how much people rely on Second Life. Some people make a lot of money and thats how they make a living. They can create clothing or other things that people want to use, and these people can buy them with lindens. I didn't know you had to actually pay with real money for things in virtual worlds, or that people would actually use their money for that purpose. In my paper i learned a lot about eductation in virtual worlds, and how it is becoming a big thing. Harvard is granting free courses in second life. There is also a campus on Teen Second Life and places where teachers can lecture virtually, so that their students are able to do it anywhere that they have the internet.
