Second life, an online game which is similar like The Sim. But Second life have more function to play with and it only available for playing online. NO offline service like The Sim. In second life you can create your own character and u can design the person you like to be. Your character will be the person you wish to be in real life but you can't. But in the virtual life you can.
Meadows (2008:51) argues that experiences create a grounding of belief. “People in virtual worlds build things, use them, sell them, trade them and discuss them. When another person confirms what I am seeing, places value on it, spends time working to pay for it, buys it, keeps it, uses it, talks about it, gets emotional about it, and then sells it – this tells me there is something real happening. The suspension of disbelief has become a grounding of belief”
i totally agree with Meadows, virtual world you can have everything you want and the thing you wish to have it, but in real life you usually cant get it at all. In my opinion, virtual world is a creation to fulfill the need of human being. In fact, second life is one of the game, which can fulfill the need of the gamer. In second life, you can create your own character and design it the way you want it to be. Buy a land and build your own house and even you can sale it to earn money. Second life is just like a real life but the different is you can manage the thing you want in the virtual world but not in the real world, that why Second life are so famous nowadays.
In virtual world, not only Second life can earn real money, other online games does it too. There are a lots games just sitting at home and keep playing the game and they manage to play in the high level and get the weapons, and they sale the weapons to other to make money. This is what professional gamer did to earn their own money. Now online games become even famous than before, you can play it for free or pay. That is why people can't live without a computer, it's too many things they can do with it.
