The headache was real. Everything else happened in my Second Life.
Last time I got curious about Second Life was four and a half years ago according to my account details. I couldn’t do anything then, because my computer was too slow. Today I managed to explore quite a lot more.
There’s something I find very captivating about the idea of a virtual world where people live a life without the restrictions of the real world. And for a few hours I found it totally addictive.
But now I feel like I’ve done everything I could possibly care to do and more. Perhaps in a few more years, when the graphics are better and there is more to do on there, it might become a place where it makes sense to hang out, perhaps even work or educate ourselves. Some, it seems in some small way, are finding it such a place already. But I can’t see past the novelty factor yet.
I’ll check back on it in a few years and see how it develops. But for now, after a few addictive hours in this strange world, the novelty has already worn off. Back to reality for now. I’ve deleted Second Life.
