Week 3(ish)

Second life.

I have mixed feelings about it.

The possibilities are limitless, surely. However, with so many powerful corporations and individuals already in on it, and people making REAL money out of their FAKE personas, how come the graphics are so sh*t?

I mean, come on. If river water can be artificially generated to the point where your character causes ripples from his breathing while lying in a prone position with his rifle scope zeroed in on a target 250m away who is smoking a cigarette, then why does second life suck so bad?

room for improvement.

Anyway, i think the concept is very cool. frightens me a little, however. what if we get to the point where we don't even have to leave home to go to work, or watch a concert, or see the museum? what if the whole world LIVED on secondlife? is that going to happen, or is this merely entertainment. who's to say?

ahh well. like i always say, the seagulls will follow the trawler because they think the sardines are about to be thrown into the sea. so you think about that.
