Is anyone interested in living a "second life."

I am not sure whether i completely grasp the concept of second life even after reading more than two articles. I however know that it is basically creating a virtual life for yourself so that you are constantly in contact with the rest of the world. Now do I personally think that's a good idea, "No."I say no because i like to have my space and therefore have no interest in a "Second Life."

Second Life seems like a great tool that allows people to be more of themselves and to carry themselves better than they would in public. Cooper's portrait of Jason Rowe, for instance, stops you dead. He stares straight at you out of startled blue eyes. But what takes you aback is his frail body, his clenched hands, and the ominous ventilator strapped to his face.
"My condition is called Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy," Rowe told Spaight. "It pretty much affects all the muscles in the body. They don't function." Jason, a disabled man, lives his life vicariously through his avatar which seems extremely fulfilling and encouraging for him. Second Life also helps businesses in reaching out to their consumer's directly. Having an alter ego is exciting for everyone but when that alter ego cannot have a one on one conversation with it's audience that's when we start questioning the efficiency of the tool.

I had never heard of Second Life until I read this article therefore i guess as one of the articles puts it best that i am late to the party."If this is news to you, consider yourself extravagantly late to the costume party that is online role-playing."
