Second Life

Second Life^® is a 3-D virtual world created by its Residents. Since opening to the public in 2003, it has grown explosively and today is inhabited by millions of Residents from around the globe.

• From the moment you enter the World you'll discover a vast digital continent, teeming with people, entertainment, experiences and opportunity. Once you've explored a bit, perhaps you'll find a perfect parcel of land to build your house or business.
  
  
• You'll also be surrounded by the Creations of your fellow Residents. Because Residents retain intellectual property rights in their digital creations, they can buy, sell and trade with other Residents.
  
  
• The Marketplace currently supports millions of US dollars in monthly transactions. This commerce is handled with the inworld unit of trade, the Linden™ dollar, which can be converted to US dollars at several thriving online Linden dollar exchanges.

But what is so interesting about Second life is that NUS actually have our own version of NUS second life, with all the school buildings made available in second life as well. With our community, apparently you can use 2nd life for learning and education as well. Just got to know from this friend who is in 2nd life committee. Can you believe it? there is actually a CCA behind 2nd life which help publicize the usage of 2nd life. Whats more interesting is that Schools are using it as educational tools, which means you can go for classes in 2nd life.

Well, their website is quite cool tho.

O, and just got to know from Sharon that today its actually UN's Global Handwashing Day. Sounds weird, but anyways, Happy Handwashing Day, may you enjoy washing your hands all the time !
