Chapter 2
bryanp | November 3, 2008Chapter two sends us right into a more indepth understanding of how our experience in secondlife will be. I think the authors set up of teaching a little background on how the history of virtural worlds came about and how they were and are viewed past to the present really helps to focus the readers mind on what to expect from the experience. The author begins with writing on the assumption of how he believes humans were and have always been virtural. Then a discussion of virtural technologies and thier strong progress through time is the main material of the chapter. The author even takes a second to recall his own history with virtural technology starting with his childhood facination with Atari and its pong video game. Then he speaks of his graduation to other more advanced systems and gaming programs as he grew up that shaped and inpsired his love for technology.
