I think this is what we are talking about this week. My Brain has been Encrypted up there lately and really out there, so here goes:

            I guess a business can find and apply this as an application, Maybe even in the medical word, like Psychology. I personally would not use it unless It was made mandatory a job I was doing. Then I would have to Assess this job I am doing and if I want to be a part of it. This all seems like some type Of World of War craft Crap to me. Or a Nintendo Wii Mii Game. It would be use full in the schools since all these little punks ( Students ) are all Gamers. So they would probably dig this as part of their curriculums and would not even know they are learning something.

So here is a little about that.

Second Life virtual world developed by Linden Lab launched on June 23, 2003Built into the software is a three dimensional modeling tool based around simple geometric shapes that allows a resident to build virtual objects.In 1999, Philip Rosedale formed Linden Lab. There is no charge to create a Second Life account or for making use of the world for any period of time. A Premium membership (US$9.95 per month) facilitates access to an increased level of technical support, and provides a stipend of L$300/week ( L$ is like there monetary system ) Second Life has its own money that can be used to buy, sell, rent or trade land or Virtual goods And services with other users. Avatars may take any form the user chooses, animal, vegetable or mineral, including being made to resemble the person whom they represent or even more abstract forms, every aspect of an avatar is fully customizable. A single Resident account may have only one avatar at a time, although the appearance of this avatar can change between as many different forms as the Resident wishes. A single person may also have multiple accounts, and thus appear to be multiple Residents , Avatars can communicate via local chat or instant messaging. Chatting is used for conversations between two or more avatars, and is visible to any avatar within a given distance. IMs are used for private conversations, either between two avatars, or among the members of a group, or even between objects and avatars. . As of version 1.18.1.2, voice chat, both local and IM, is also available on both the main grid and teen grid, using technology licensed by Vivox, a provider of similar services to other MMO worlds.
