I ain‟t got time for no foolishness
Second Life is a virtual world created by Linden Labs in 2003.
You can do almost everything in Second Life (SL) that you can in Real Life (RL)

“friend” each other
From blog entry –
meet people from

happen in real life?

Is any technology here to stay?
Gophers, telnets, kermits, dial-up
What about Facebook, Twitter, Meebo?
Is that a good reason not to?
Jumping off spot
“The virtual world technology we are seeing right now is in such an early and emerging phase that it is impossible to predict what form it might take in the future.”
Chris Collins
![Page 36: I barely have time for my first life, why do I need a Second Life?](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052622/559660e51a28abe2178b4593/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
I still remember a librarian objecting to my continuing to lead an Internet Training Group at UCLA when the web was new. She held up and pointed to a 1995 article called “Web, Shmeb” and told me that the Web couldn‟t last, as the author of that article had stated. Of course it has, and quite marvelously.
Now, if you‟re wondering why Second Life, I‟d like to say that, IMHO, it‟s not Second Life itself that‟s important, though it‟s an incredibly creative enterprise. Actually, SL‟s significance is as one of the newer forms of technology we should be exploring so that we’ll be primed and ready, if not eager, for the next form of technology, and the next one after that.
