Second Life

Yesterday I spent most of the afternoon on Second Life. It was fun to open up the program and experiment with my avatar. After walking around Orientation Island I was able to teleport my avatar to other sites. On Education Island I found that many academic institutions have set up sites designed for registered users. It disconcerting to discover that some of these sites are locked to casual viewers. Out of curiosity I visited several islands to see if there was anything of interest. This adventure produced mixed results- some of the sites were private, restricted, and/ or reserved for mature audiences. After a two hour excursion I decided to log out and do my homework. My trip to Second Life was entertaining.
