I have never been in "Second Life", even though Karl introduced it to me before.
I think it depends on the generation if you can enjoy "the world". This is only my guess though.

Michelle seems to be young enough to try and bigin such a I.T. world life. The problem will be the tecnique of P.C. and lifestyle.
I can't mention about it because my skill is too poor to concern about it.

Karl said that he has been many coutries in his life, how about you Michelle ?. I think, going abroad is much more interesting than traveling in the imaginary world.
So, active person, like Karl, may be able to enjoy such imaginary world. But a person who has many things to do in the "real world" may feel "lacks something" as life in the imaginary world.

How do you two people think ?.
My ideas is only trite and insipid ?. May be so.
