I'm a former librarian, from Singapore. The postings were library-related (mostly). I tended to ramble. As with things in life, my thoughts were incidental (i.e. insignificant). DISCLAIMER - Views expressed here were strictly my own and did not represent the official stand of my former employer. But you know that already.
"Second Life," she said gravely, "is not a game".
"It is a world. You have to find your own friends, find your own goals."

How come the article in digital life never balanced it out with someone who did play secondlife?
ReplyDeleteWell, I do believe that real life is usually less sensational than second life. Just like most bloggers you meet in real life have blogs that are worst than their bite. Somehow, being online emboldens one to take greater risks in an avatar-centric universe. People become more daring hiding beneath the cloak of anonymity....
ReplyDeleteSometimes reality may be more imaginative, unbelievable and fantastic than what second life has to offer. I know that because occasionally, I will pinch myself to see if I am in a dream or whether it is real. Of course, being killed in first life isn't half as fun as being shot at in second life.
ReplyDeleteHeh. I missed this post previously. Cheers Ivan.
