LIFE ON LINE :SECOND LIFE
The internet, which is used for various purposes, provides a wide range of sources of information. Everything that you need or do in real life is nowadays possible also on the internet. You can do shopping, play games, give advertisement, look for a job or just chat with somebody when you get bored. In Second Life people whom we asked was using that program for various purposes. Most people use it for friendship and then finding staff and the least for education.
The most common purpose of use using Second Life is making friends. People are going to different networks and meeting with people all over the world. It gives them the chance of chatting with people from different cultures, socio-economic status and belief. That helps them to learn about different cultures, places and people living there. Actually you feel like you have gone there. Moreover people share their belief, feelings and ideas so they get rid of their stress to some extent.
In the second place people claimed to be using Second Life for finding staff. They go to related groups and speak with people and then find appropriate person for the job. By that way a chore turns into a joy. Second Life’s being a tree dimensional program makes it more interesting. People can see who are there and can sit somewhere and speak that makes communication better. So it is easy to find a staff via Second Life.
Lastly the least number of people are using Second Life for education. Very few people use it for educational purposes because there aren’t many activities related to education. Students can discuss a topic or make a survey about it. But maybe they cannot get the correct information because people using it are not all professionals. So Second Life is not a proper source for finding information or asking questions about a topic related to education because the data you receive is not trustworthy. However it provides good activities but students don’t have so much time to do activities on internet. So it is scarcely used for education.
All in all people use Second Life for various purposes. Every group of people has reasonable reasons for why they use it for these purposes. Second Life more or less provides a wide area of usage and it is helpful for various purposes.
