User:EddyFragment Robonaught/The future of SL

I thought it might be interesting to start a page off for people to discuss their thoughts and feelings about what SL is and what they hope for it to become.

With the technology improving all the time and home computers becoming more widespread and powerful more and more people are taking to the internet for communication, shopping, playing games and even voting in national elections etc. This being the case a place like SL with its own social nuances and colloquialisms is in my view the perfect place for expansion of these ideas. We already do most of the above mentioned activities but have yet to be recognized in a more substantial way by governments etc as more than an internet chat room with a 3D twist. But if the trends continue and the technology grows the sky is the limit to what SL could become. Since it is what the residents make of it I see it as a new frontier. A wild west for the new millenium. I see a time (if the world and its people aren't all destroyed by greed or stupidity first) when SL and its counterparts will be so realistic that it would be hard to tell where RL ended and SL began (this being via implants or lazer projection direct on to the corneas). As such it would become a true other world.

So I wonder if anyone else would like to give a view on what SL is to them and what they would hope for it to be. -- Eddy ^{(talk|contribs)} 05:29, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Heyas =)

This is something that wouldn't normally go on a wiki page. The Wiki is supposed to hold information, rather than discussions. The exception are talkpages, which are supposed to be a place to discuss how an article can become a better resource. There are a few other places which hold discussions too (like Project:Editing Discussion), though in general, this stuff should find a home in the forums, rather than the wiki. I therefor moved the pages in your userspace, since you're almost free to do whatever you like in here :-)
