Does anyone here "play" Second LIfe? (And no, I am not talking about reincarnation or some such other metaphysical "thing.")

A year or so ago, the wife of a friend of mine complained about how much time her hubby (my friend) was spending online, playing Second Life. He is a good guy, hardworking and a good dad and husband, so I figured that she was was just being "possessive."

Then last week I read a story about this man and his virtua "life" on Second Life, complete with a virtual life and virtual business and virtually family.

Have any of you played SL? Do any of you even know about SL?

Back in the early '70s I read a book where the author discussed the rise of virtual "societies." (I can't remember the title or author, but when it comes back to me I will post it). I remember being amazed by his books because who, in the 1970s, could possibly even imagine a computerized virtual "world."

Anyhow, what do you guys (and gals) know/think about Second LIfe and other virtual "worlds?"
