About Second Life...

I think Second Life is purely an escape-ground from the reality.  I do not understand why those members are wasting time and real money to buy something intangible, only exist in the virtual world.  Most of the people in the world still have to pay rent (or mortgage) and bills to keep their computer running and hooked to the internet to experience their virtual existence in the Second Life !!!  It is a big “conundrum” that I will not participate.  Never.
