This week's material and assignment really got me to think. Our team found a social networking site that allows you to lead a second life. Who would've thought. I have heard about it but never really looked into it in depth. This is crazy to me how someone would be so into it that there is a possiblity that the lines of reality and this second life would blur together. But in a digital world it is what you make of it. When you enter a digital world if it is a game, social network or just surfing the web you have the choice of what to believe and what to look at. So this social network is perfect for a digital world. You make your own reality. It would be interesting to find out how many people prefer this life instead of their own and how many people this preference effects their own lives. I think the digital world is amazing and there is so much potential, but I can also see the harm in it too.

I think these digital worlds are interesting. I played online games, and there were people who spent more time playing these games online, than they did in real life.
