Captivating insight into online virtual worlds. Second Life, World of Warcraft, Metaplace, Habbo, Eve, Linage, U World - all virtual worlds where users are able to create their own paradise, fantasies, which sometimes are far removed from real life or in others are too close to virtualisation. People can build imaginary or real cities, create communities and societies that range from the democratic to the anarchical or dictatorial, have avatars that resemble their ideal, inexistent or real persona and can engage in actions that their real life personality would never dream of doing but also obtain success with their real life skills, from cyber-sex to virtual crime and entrepreneurship.
Watch this documentary available online in Channel 4 (British TV) until 22nd July 2009.
How these utopian worlds might be part of our real life in a near future? What will be the effects of these virtual worlds in our governments, businesses, organisations and in our family and individual life?
What is your opinion?
