In class we learned about Second Life, which is a place where you can create your own personal Avatar. To me, this is a bit creepy. You can create a person with their own outfit, job and lifestyle. If used properly this can be fun entertainment, but unfortunately some people that should not be involved in this sort of thing make it dangerous. It is especially important to be cautious of this sort of thing when working with children. Second life has recently created a childrens version, in order to try and prevent this, but it doesn't stop someone too old from going on. Here is an article that discusses the program and how the casino got kicked out.
Careers an Second life?
This could be used in an office as a fun way of communicating with colleagues. Making your character, could be more interesting than a boring email.
