By definition “A virtual world is a computer-based simulated environment which may be populated by many users who
can create a personal avatar, and simultaneously and independently explore the virtual world, participate in its activities and communicate with others”.
There are so many ways Virtual words that are online can be used. According to
Mark Tutton in his article “Going to the virtual office in Second Life” he
explains that since the recession cut expense on travel, many companies are
using the virtual world. One of the ways the virtual world could be used is to
have a business conference with partners from a different part of the world. This
way they can collaborate ideas and talk about business without having to travel
abroad. Another way the virtual world can be used is to train nurses into
making decisions. The Wall Street Journal article, “Avatar II: The Hospital”
Stephanie Simon, states “Health-care facilities are discovering that practicing
in the virtual world can have major benefits in real life.” There are
situations Nurses have to face to make a decision that could save lives. We see
Creativity in the way how people use the virtual world. Also having to see that
people feeling that they can use the virtual world for many different
activities illustrates that creativity is changing and will continue the way we
use the internet.
The world is changing fast and
constantly. There will be a time in the upcoming future of the virtual world where
people will make millions without having to take a step out from home. Nowadays,
seems like people are more comfortable with talking to a computer, than meeting
another human being face to face. Technology is taking over, sooner or later
everyone has to adapt to the fast-changing world because great things yet to
come.
