Today I learned about SecondLife.
I had never heard of it before.
It's basically a multiuser interface where you can create your own avatar and interact with others. You can create your own identity, your own worlds, your own everything.
Many people seem to be drawn to these sorts of applications.
I guess I can see why. It's alluring, really. A world where anything is possible and you are not bound by the limitations of real life.
You can be whoever you want - you create your own identity. Which makes me wonder - just what is identity? Is it who you are in real life, or who you are in virtual reality? Is virtual reality isn't really real, then does that mean your identity is fake?
It's such an interesting concept.
