Every child once lives in a dream of fantasy. Every adult laments the fact that they were once a child who appreciates fantasy too. However, the reality of life speaks otherwise. Very often, we are caught in the situation where are mind, soul and body could not synchronize for optimum result. We may think in a way, but act in a different way because we are suppressed by many external factors.
In Second Life, everyone with Internet access is given the opportunity to rekindle their imagination and creativity, and live in a world that has minimal restrictions. Second Life is a 3D virtual world where individuals can create an 'avatar' - an in-game representation of yourself (www.spannerworks.com/ebooks) to build your own residential area, communicate with residents in the virtual world, trade with residents using the unique Linden dollars, and so on. For more information on Second Life features, please refer to http://secondlife.com/whatis/ or the official website at http://secondlife.com/.
In order to fully appreciate the fun and usefulness of Second Life, the best way is to join and be part of this wonderful creation. When is the time that you can touch the clouds, fly like a bird, move to one place to another in a split second using teleport? Second Life gives you the answer. For teens who are aged below 18, there is even a world exclusively dedicated to them. Second Life basically provides everyone the chance to move away from the mundane reality and enter a new world of hopes, opportunities, fantasies, and fun. According to Wikipedia, more than 20 million users have created an account in Second Life, so what is holding you back now? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_life)

Internet age - A bliss?
Human beings are never alone. Million of years ago in a farway land, there exist a planet called Cybertron. There is nothing more interesting than constant battle between the Autobots (protector) and Decepticons (destroyer) in that planet. Due to an unfortunate event, Autobots must prevent Decepticons from reigining the planet earth. With the little information that they had about Earth, Autobots made full use of the World Wide Web (WWW) to gain knowledge on the information that they require. The Autobots probably would like to express gratitude to Tim Benners-Lee, the developer of WWW for such a great invention of all times.
What is WWW? It is a hypermedia resource that allows unlimited access to distributed information on the Internet and provides flexibility in web publishing. As such, Internet (large collection of computers interlinked between one another around the world) has become a prevalent phenomenon in this century. As many would agree, Internet has in fact become the daily bread of most people's lives.
However, Internet is such a big thing that if we do not spend sufficient time to explore and fully utilize it we will be outdated with the latest technology, service, and opportunities that exist in this world. We should make full use of Internet to embark on a new journey of opportunities and not solely for information seeking only.
Like the video that Mr Abel Choy showed, the future of Internet lies nothing but loads of chances to success. We can invest in stocks and properties, develop products, create a business and so on. But the future opens up many possibilities than what is mentioned in the video I guess. Maybe one day, the public will have e-conference directly with government bodies instead of emailing them only, gamers will be able to play interactive online games such as 4D magix in a game version and so on.
Till then, we have social shopping, DOTA and many other RPG/MMORPG online games, e-services, webcam service and so many more to do in the Internet that makes COM 125 a miserable module to take when there is likely more than necessary to learn about.
