The Virtual Life - Second Life

This post is related to my previous post About the virtual life and death.

It seems that there is a lot of people who think just the say way as mine. I'll show you a page, that I didn't hear before. Yesterday I saw very interesting post in my rss, so I decided to go deeper and see what is it about.

It was about Secon Life. This is a very popular online game, that very well imitates the real life. There is million of users that play it, they are trading, building houses, dealing commercials, business places and etc. The game has it's own currency which can be changed for real money.

In a given moment you realize that ... the game is not so imagined when you can earn money there. Already there's a people who have their primary income from this website.
It is very very strange how the real world is mixed with that fake one and I am sure that there is too much people who live in this fake world even better than in the real one.

People get more and more crazy!! But... it's cool :)
I'll give the following example. In TotallyCrap
I saw a post named Whore of WarCraft. It was about a woman whore who slept with a man just to earn enough WarCraft currency to buy for her hero a shield and sword. And the most important she said that she would do it again and will smack all users asses.
It's fucking strange isn't it?? Well no matter that i think to try to register in Second Life ;)

About the virtual life and death.


I was just sitting in front of my PC now, and I was thinking about some interesting sites. In a moment I thought about this similar to myspace.com site called mydeathspace.com. So I begun to think and think:
"Where are we going at?"

How is developing the IT world, I tried to predict the future of sites and people's life. So I just imagined the following thing:

When a person comes on the wile world, even before he/she can talk or walk, his/her parents have to make a online registration with date of birth, photo of the baby and address. So the new person keeps growing up and his parents make something like an time sheet with all the events, with photos and things like that. After he becomes let's say older than 14, then he is allowed to post all by himself in his site, to contact with friends and maybe some strangers.
The idea is that, during your whole life to have something like an Internet mirror.
So someone has made a site for dead people. It's more like a register, but it is strange of course. I meant that maybe in future after you are dead all your Internet Mirror page will be moved to such a site, where people can read and remember about you, can light a candle, say something good to the others for you and stuff like that?

Well I actually think that we are not very far away from that time. With all this development of the blog media, myspace is getting huger, mydeathspace will get huge too. :)
