9. Second Life

One thing I do not think we have mentioned in class is the possible use of Second Life as a business tool.

For those who do not know what second life is, it is basically an virtual world where users (via their "Avatar") are capable of interacting with each other by visiting virtual lounges, storefronts, etc.  The thing that fascinates me the most about Second Life is that users are allowed to upload powerpoints, videos, and other types of media and then share them with selected guests.  Businesses are now considering using this technology to hold meetings and seminars.  As businesses and their personnel adapt to this technology, huge savings may be realized in the form of cutting travel costs.
