Online+Community+Reflections

I choose to explore Second Life for this assignment based on your recommendations. The graphics and computer programming are incredible. When I opened the home page for the first time I was initially overwhelmed as this was a new experience for me. However once I began it didn't seem to be quite so scary.

As I look back at my experience, I may need to re-evaluate my opinions and fears about the computer and it's ability to support social interactions. Second life does give you a way to interact with others in a somewhat social way. It's almost a testing ground for social interactions and because you aren't personally tied to the "real" person on the other end you are able to actually practice some social skills and evaluate cause and effect.

It's kind of interesting to see the interchange that occurs. I enjoyed the experience and will continue to explore and visit new destinations!
