Welcome to Second Life, Now Let's Grope....
Welcome to your Second Life, a new virtual world awaits you! The hope of a new life, free from all the real people you know and the sorry state of your own appearance.
You can look like you've always wanted to look! Be who you've wanted to be. Plus, no odors!
Oh, but wait. First this guy wants to put his hand in your pants.
And this is just what happened to a student of mine as he entered Second Life for the first time. Second Life is an online world that allows you to own virtual land and engage in various business and interpersonal activities: flirting, gambling, building things, groping, etc.
While I'm not opposed to groping in an of itself, and I'm certainly not against online worlds, (I do research in the area) this quite common event shows just how far these worlds still need to go.
In the near future most people will have multiple avatars in multiple, interconnected worlds engaged in all manner of activities - not just games and diversions.
