Second Life 

After exploring that world of Second life : http://secondlife.com/ we have to answer to this questions:
     1.What kind of ”place” does it seem to be? 

     2.Who are its inhabitants? 

     3.What do they look like? What do they do?
    4.What kind of a community does it seem to be? 

      First of all, after having exploring this kind of digital world, I would say that it tries to copy our real world by using the typical places where people usually meet and talk. I mean: pubs, beaches, malls, crowded streets, etc. Actually, you can create new spaces and change their appearance, but, anyway, it looks like our world. 

    Secondly, its inhabitants are avatars with human being appearance (any genre and young and adults). These vitual characters can get along and stablish friendships and relationships between them, since this game is at the same time a social network. 

     Thirdly, they can do whatever you would like to do in the real world, but the difference is that your purposes are easier to get that in real life. The possibilities are infinite: you can become an artist, a politician or simply you can have there the weddings of your dreams. 

     And, finally, the kind of community depends on your behaviour and how you socialise with the rest of people, just like real life, because, actually, this game imitate in a very similar way our communities.
