in The city sims - where’s Melbourne? on The Metaverse Journal
Cities in the clouds, under the sea, on a cliff-face or on the underside of an outsized cornflake box....we have all the possibilities under the Second Life sun and all we can do is create poor facsimiles of what we already have in the real world?

Is Second Life just a travel brochure or a growing monument to our own lack of imaginaton?

Perhaps it's also interesting to see the over-complicated justifications academics concoct to spend time in Second Life?

I keep my distance in SL so I get a better view of the av's around me, not because I'm threatened by their physical presence - they have none!

Eye contact in SL is NOT eye contact - it's mouse movement. So beyond that moment you click on an av' to check their profile it really means nothing - u could appear to be staring at your friends boobs when you're actually checking your email!

SL is definitely a fascinating social playground but how about some proper research?
