I met a marketing director from a leading bank yesterday who was saying how clunky Second Life is and how difficult it is to use. Those views seem to spreading...
New Scientist has gone on the attack describing Second Life as fantastic and weird and saying that only a few people actually use it. Instead New Scientist suggests that real and virtual worlds will map. We could all soon be wearing digital glasses that provide a 'digital filter' over real life. You could get weather data, pollution levels and details on opening times at cinemas etc as you walk along and maybe avatars to keep you company. Even if Second Life is getting some flak, the futurists are confident that virtual worlds are here to stay.
