Week 4: Exploring the Vast Business Potential of the Metaverse

This article, written by Cynthia Wetzler, was very interesting. Personally, when I first heard about Second Life, I questioned the incentive of being involved in something enitrely virtual. After reading this article, however, one can see that there are so many benefits to partaking in this metaverse. Whether it is a good place to began networking with people (social networking), or a place where you can merely escape from your own personal identity, you can also generate a vast revenue. Hundreds of people that are involved in Second Life have made thousands of dollars off this business endeavor, which is quite inventive. I think that in fifty years, our society will be far more involved in Second Life, and it will be interesting to see how involved people are in it. What will come of our society? No one can really predict it until the time comes. Will it be a similar situation to the Facebook? Will it just blow up overnight and become an instant sensation?
