Modeling Reality with Virtual Worlds

Virtual world can be of many use. Virtual world can help connect people around the world, and teach them valuable skill along with it.. According to After Second Life, Can Virtual Worlds Get a Reboot, by Diane Mehta, Virtual games actually connect people rather than make them isolated. People around the world are working together to reach an achievement. Sound like socializing to me. Virtual Worlds are good for people who are shy to talk to other. It's a way for them to connect with people. Virtual world fosters creativity giving people the freedom to do what they want. They don't have to worry about others judging. It's a way to express something you wouldn't do in public. Virtual world has it's negative as well.  According to, No Budget, No Boundaries: It’s the Real You, By Ruth La Ferla, people can do what they want. There are no such thing as boundaries. You can do the same things you can do in person. While is foster creativity, it discourages people from socializing in real life. People become solitary even though they are connecting with people. They become socially deprived. Virtual World is heading to the right direction but they need to balance with Real World.
