Does this mean we can’t do social network in second life? I have different thought. I think maybe “virtual worlds” like second life will replace the current social networks (e.g. myspace, facebook, etc) in future or they will evolve to something like second life.

People who are intelligent enough, will realize the great difference between social networks such as myspace, facebook etc.. (where the main point is to have fun and have social contact with other people) and “virtual worlds” like second life, where most people know, that it is brought up to make money.
I think it is more likely that there will be more pages coming up, which are more like myspace, where people interact with other people, instead a big company.

When it is possible to ‘jack in’ and have ‘real’ experiences online, people will no doubt choose this over the real world. Each day the Matrix seems more and more plausible.

There could be negative side effects from this brave new world if it is not managed well. Recently, in Korea there have boot camp purposely for those kids who are addicted to this virtual world.
