A look into your Second Life

Have you ever wondered what it was like to have a second life?
One where you could shop for free, build your house, create your own clothes, go clubbing every night, eat anything you                            wanted, how much you wanted and even fly?

This has now been made possible by Linden Labs Research (Inc) who founded a virtual world called “Second Life” where users do just that.  They created a free client program called the Viewer which allows their users to interact with each other through the use of ‘Avatars’.

These are costumes or appearances that users can wear (human, animal, vegetable, mineral or combination) and can even choose to look like the way they do in their real life. The residents of Second life can explore, meet other residents, socialize, participate in individual and group activities and even travel around the world.

Linden Labs was founded by Philip Rosedale who developed a computer hardware allowing people to log into a virtual world. Their vision created Second Life, where people partipated in task-based games and socializing in a three dimensional online environment.
