Modeling Reality with Virtual Worlds

A virtual world is a genre of online community that often takes the form of a computer-based simulated enviroment. The use of media become nerver ending to survive in the cyber space. New media techonology has become indispensable to transact business with a more global approach, for fast and reliable communication. Virtual worlds allow players to create their own avartars that best suit their looks or their idea looks. Then the players use their avatars to interact with the world and other avatars, much like what we do in real life. People can do anything what they want in their second life in cyber space contrast they can not do in real world. They can have fun, hang out and chat about anything etc.
However, there is some distinct features of virtual world. It can be used dangerous way if we missed. It can commit crimes. For instance, in mmorpg's players have to play by the game's rules, and they sell this with a lot of money indicating in the economy like real society. I believe that is the dark side of virtual world.
