Lesson #1: Second Life

Second Life is interesting but as of now I have no interest in participating. I watch a lot of television and recently saw an episode of CSI:NY in which Gary Sinise's character had to solve a murder by going into a 3-D virtual reality world to find clues. He had to create an avatar, chase a little animal creature, and battle a monster to gain access to an exclusive area. It was pretty cool especially since they used a wall to project the image of the virtual world so everything was life-size. As for the library's use of Second Life I think it would be good to have some events and programs similar to those at other libraries which were mentioned in the presentation on Internet based Virtual Worlds.
