Has anyone ever seen the movie Surrogates, its stars Bruce Willis. Well if you haven't, its a movie about the future and how everyone has a surrogates (robot that looks exactly like a human). The film's main concept centres around the mysterious murder of a college student linked to the man who helped create a high-tech surrogate phenomenon that allows people to purchase remote controlled humanoid robots through which they interact with society. These fit, attractive, remotely controlled robots ultimately assume their life roles, enabling people to experience life vicariously from the comfort and safety of their own homes. Anyways I bring this movie up because it reminded me of Second life. I don't exactly like the fact that I have to make an avatar for this class. I dont agree with the concept of Second life and would rather not become a part of it. But I also find useful because it is something that I would have never thought of doing it before and it is making me step out of my comfort zone.
Second life is interesting because you can be a human, animal, robort, vampire. In other words, to me, you can either take it seriously or as a "game".
I am going to have to explore more to understand it and determine if I like it or not... to be continued
