Who has time? I resent the implication that this one would be my second one, I may already be running dozens of lives under different alias. In fact my core existence may depend on it.
I did join Second Life several years ago, but never got past choosing a name. I'm too busy trying to keep the first one ticking over, and I have the sneaking suspicion that it would be all too easy (and rather soul-destroying), to start putting one's physical life on hold in favour of the virtual.
The question of virtual education is an interesting one. The advantages are obvious, particularly for remote students, or those with physical difficulties, and have been moving forward for some time, although second life can offer a much more interactive on-line learning experience. Much potential there!
I did find it interesting though, that already 30% of second lifes industry is sex-based, and people are starting to sue each other. Bit sad.
