Second Life: Do You Need One? (Part 2)

by Patricia Deubel, Ph.D.

Do you need a second life? I hope I've given you sufficient resources to start your own exploring. As my journey revealed, one can spend far too much time in the current SL at the expense of other things that must be done in your real life. But, I'll check back now and then to see new developments. I'm getting hooked on those educational possibilities. Come back for part 3. Amareal learned a lot more from interviewing Virtual Bacon.
