My initial observations lead to believe that Second Life like many other virtual worlds serves the purpose of providing a means of escape from our day-to-day lives by providing a world outside of our own where we can explore and socialize with individuals from all occupations. The virtual world also serves as a bridge between users that are distances apart, allowing them to converge and socialize in a virtual environment that mimics several of the regular activities that we would do in face-to-face social gatherings. Second life allows the user to explore the possibility of different venues of life by allowing them to purchase and live as they see fit through the purchase of virtual goods. I will continue to observe and further develop my initial findings.
