Modeling Reality with Virtual Worlds

The virtual worlds is a life people have in a computer environment. These world have many purposes to many different people. Some people might use to play video games, other for work and even to study.
The good thing about virtual worlds for a work place according to Going to the virtual office in Second Life by Mark Tutton is that, "use Second Life to hold meeting, conduct training and prototype new technologies more efficiently"
This means that people save time and if you have people in another country. The virtual is a easier way to make friends and get to know people from other place in the world. You can make your own second life. Also people could learn hoe to handle a situation like in hospital. In the article Avatar II: The Hospital by Stephanie Simon is talking about how the virtual world help student to know what to do in a crowd emergency room.
The bad thing about virtual worlds is that some people take it too far. In a episode of the The Big Bang Theory a character called Penny becomes addicted to a game called Age of Conan which is a virtual world. She became so addicted that she does not shower or care about dating.
Maybe some people get addicted to these Virtual World because they might be better than real life. In the virtual world you get to be whomever you want and not worry about it.
Virtual worlds foster creativity promote the development of something that is has real has the real world. In the virtual worlds there are thing that look so real so that people can see that they are in another life.
I think that more people are going to have a life in a virtual world in whatever department.
