Modeling Reality with Virtual Worlds

Now a day, I think social networks and virtual worlds became one of the many necessities for online users. People use social networks and virtual worlds to communicate with others and expand self-interest. A virtual world is very useful in our daily life. A person can meet someone just by adding a friend on Facebook or MySpace and talk or interact by sitting in front of a computer screen. Business people use virtual worlds to training their employees, and get information through connection of another worker. According to the article “IBM Learning Programs Get a Second Life" by Ed Frauenheim, he shows us corporate like “IBM” are using virtual worlds to their employees’ training. It definitely helps new employees’ shares ideas with others before their first day of work.
There are some beneficial factors to using virtual worlds. People are allow to expand their imagination and explore places things you want to do in real life. People are free to do so much with their dreams in the virtual world then in reality.
Of course everything has a dark side, include of virtual world. The main thing about them is they can be fake. People should careful about who they meet and what kinds of information share each other. If we met the wrong person via the internet that might make people go through the wrong way or bad situation.
I believe that in the future virtual worlds will evolve more in our life. Everybody will sit in front of their computer at home to work in stead of working outside. Such as students course, people can stay at home and submit their work online when they done.
