Virtual reality games were the topic in class today. This is one of the fastest growing things on the internet today being able to created a virtual alter ego and do the things or anything you always wanted but in a virtual reality so why do people play these games ? Is it because they are scared of the real world or do they feel like this is a place where they can truly be themselves without being looked at in a weird way. Second life is one game that’s growing rapidly where u can create your own avatar and basically live true this virtual person and do the things you always wanted, I think the people that play these games are people that have a problem establishing themselves in the real world by playing they never have to encounter anybody in person.
in the video above the backsides of the game second life is explained where sexual favors can be bought and as said before anybody can get avatar young to old and how suited is it to have kids that are maybe teen years old or younger playing these games where sexual favors can be bought and characters can be rapped, and the funny thing is that they don’t even know who is on the other end of the computer unless they choose to reveal it which I highly doubt and this is something I think all parents should take into consideration before letting their child be part of the virtual world.
Today virtual games have become an obsession for the people who play. They do everything in their daily life true there avatar for instance there are workplaces where the employees don’t communicate with each other instead use their avatar so where is this virtual obsession going over 2 million people log on everyday to shop interact or play with each other this world have even started getting into politics where you could campaign from your living room. So I ask myself and my reader where will second life be in like twenty years will it totally have consumed us as people so that when we go to work we never have to talk to anyone instead we just interact true our virtual egos one thing is for sure the more real second life gets the more people are going want to be part of this phenom because it covering every aspect of the real world we live in today.
