Day 3
As I continue my research into Second Life, I have noticed a few important factors regarding my behavior towards the virtual world. I have noticed that I personally do not find myself being drawn into the world as I initially thought I would. I also do not seem to be enjoying the social aspects of Second Life. This could be because of my values and interests in face-to-face gatherings. In my opinion, there is still a very important element missing from Second Life that you get from meeting people in person and I am unsure if they could ever really incorporate that human element into the world. I do not get any enjoyment from the prospect of buying myself a virtual life of my choosing. I also noticed that for a virtual world that allows users to socialize as you would in real life everything still feels very secluded and individualized. Every user within Second Life seems to stay within their comfort zone never really branching out which makes initial communication within the world difficult.
