Virtual Community

Second life word is a virtual community people can resort to when the real life is getting harder and harder to communicate with other people through online connection. The current generation is using different tech tools to make this world happens; starting from using text messaging on their mobile phones to chatting rooms online. Meantime, the possibilities are seemingly endless. That's what creators of Second Life and other sites expect will draw the generations that grew up on video games: The chance to create their own alternative identity in a virtual world. Therefore, Second Life is completely user-generated 3D environment that comes with relatively easy-to-use building and scripting tools that anyone can learn. This makes it an ideal environment for engaging students in creating their own learning activities, experiences and skills, and not just be inactive consumers of learning. Second Life offers a range of new and exciting possibilities for educators and their students. Already, there are many outstanding educational institutions and colleges exploring the use of virtual worlds for the delivery of a wide range of courses and educational events including distance and flexible Education, Presentations, Discussions, Multimedia and Games Design and Language Learning practices. Our course Eduu 564 is one of the virtual worlds that use different means of communication with students and professor.

As avatar allows users from the age of 13, those by law are considered minors. Every minute software designers and developers bring something new into effect. I think this might carry negative impacts on family bonds, ties and kinship. Teens will be no longer taking care to weave such bonds that old generations used to take care (cartoons).
