Second Life Success
July 29th, 2007
The panel discussion was interesting and topical, especially in the world of Second Life. Here, online avatars marry other avatars and some of our panelists said that they even perform marriage and union ceremonies in the virtual world. It’s bound to bring up a whole “new dimension” of ethical discussion. Isn’t that what new media has always promised us?
Second Life was a great success, if slightly disorienting; “It’s a strange thing being in the room but not really being present,” said panelist Lisa Fullam, a Second Life Newbie. That it is, but it turned out to be great fun, too. Here are some photos of the RL (that’s REAL LIFE) portion of the event;

There is, or was, an Ethics group in Second Life. It hasn’t been very active recently that I can tell, but if you’re interested in Ethics - it typically draws a good crowd.

Just like everything that has been created for good, the devil seems to find some way to corrupt it. The first time I heard about second life was in a sexual content so ofcourse I stayed away. Now that I know it doesn’t have to be that way, I might see what it is all about.
