Second Life

Creating an avatar can allow us to experiment with the alternate version of oursleves -- the one we desire to be. Second Life allows us to live vicarously through our avatar. Nobody knows who we really are, so we take risks in Second Life. I have never actually experimented with Second Life, but it seems like a really neat thing. I'm not sure if I will ever live in Second Life because it seems to take up a lot of time -- something I don't have. It is great that a lot of libraries are starting to become aware of the power of technology to reach out to patrons, therefore creating a community within Second Life.
