SecondLife
Part of this brief is to investigate one of many online 3d community environments. I chose Second life as its the most popular and most developed. Before even going on the site my thoughts about this sort of thing were slightly sceptical, I assumed the people who would use this sort of application would be 'nerds', not actually able to make things happen in their first life. I admit that this is a very judgemental and ignorant view and completely hypocritical as thoughout my life I have had allot of interest in 3d worlds and interactive environments, so why would I 'slag it off'?(so to speak)... well, I just think that theres not much point in walking around in a 'world' conversing with 3dimensional versions of people, like in gaming theres always a point/objective of your interaction with the environment and that gives the whole thing a little purpose. However with SecondLife, I thought the people your likely to meet would be individuals who have created this hyper sized version of themselves and they converse with each other.... "...but why?"
