Do you get a second chance in real life, I mean if you ever thought like it would be great if I born there or If I can be there or live.Our life is not in our option, mostly. But there is some concept in the web where you can live a second life... like the movie matrix.You will be given a virtual name and virtual continent to live. You can choose your color, style and lifestyle and you can do whatever things you like to do in this virtual world.Sounds weird and you think who likes such a thing? well think again because there is already 7 million people living in this virtual world.
They can roam , dance , love , fight , watch a disco etc, etc.. the cool thing is you can also earn from this virtual life. Each creature you meet in this world is a real person in the world. This world has a money of it own and there is sale for Islands going on . Numerous scientist are popping up inventing , producing and selling their products in money in second life, which you can make it as real dollars in real world. There is some offshoring ideas going around on this space now and second life economy is estimated to be 500 million dollars.Its not surprise that there is also terror threats in the second life.
Apple, Adidas and many stores had already opened up there digital shops here, you can purchase second life and real life products there. There is a virtual exchange called the LindEx which maintains the foreign index of Digital life. Recently there is a U2 concert happened on it and Ohio university opened a campus here.In some sense Second life is trying to surpass the limitation of the web - 2 dimensional. With its 3 dimensional strength second life could be good competitor to WWW itself.
