Assignment 1
Second Life at first reminds me of the video game Sims by EA Sport. Both are alike in many ways. The interactive media allow the player or user to create an avatar and customize it to almost anything you wish. Also allow them to interact with other users online but in Second Life you can do so much more. It is more complex. It takes some time to get use to the game but once you find out what you can do, it pretty fun and cool. Second Life is not just a game or some social virtual world. It can be use as a business or even an art space to express one self. You can do almost anything you can do in real life and more. Hint the name “Second Life”. Even though almost anything is possible, it takes time to learn how things work. It is like being reborn and learns how everything works just like when you were a baby. It not easy to understand some of the things that people do or even how they do it sometime but I’m very interested it. I always like creating things in video games but in second life I will be able to that and more. I won’t be limit to the rules of a video game and plus I might even make some money creating and selling so stuff. In a way it like I’m getting a head start on the career that I wanted which is to become a game designer. I can’t wait to learn some more cool stuff about Second Life.

You can spend lots of time in SL, exploring or wandering. The key is to have some focus and increase your skills and creativity over time. Building, creating unique scripted objects, and attending events are beneficial. Some social aspects of the world are distracting. Striking a balance is key. But yes, you've uncovered the little secret - SL can lure you into deep immersion like a book or other software tool. There more time you spend with it, the more opportunities you'll find to be creative.
