I mentioned before that I am a social networking service lover before. Well, I am using social networking service very well and it helps me to communicate with my family, friends in Korea and even anyone from any countries. It enriches my life a lot and I am using the social networking services everyday.
But I know there are many problems from using those services among younger people. For example. during the lecture, Dean shows us the Second Life videos and he talked about the problems from second life as well. Well, I think Second Life is a brilliant virtual world social networking service and it is amazing. We can do almost same thing as our real life. But there are the problems from ‘unreal’ life such as Second Life.

The Dark Side of Second Life : Business Week
I haven’t use the Second Life yet but I would like to start the Second Life because I would like to know what’s going on in Second Life. I am a media student and I would like to work in the new media industry and the virtual reality is not a special thing anymore in these days. It is a common thing for us and even younger people. Maybe we are all living in the virtual reality in these days. Think about it. We use mobile phone all the time and we chat each other through Skype or other 3G devices.
The technologies will be improved and developed more, better and even quicker. And we have to accept all these technologies and technology world.
But we have to concern one thing carefully. That is us, Human Being. We have to consider that we are human being and we have to control the technology. Do not allow technology let control us.
If we use the technology wisely we can have enriched life but if not, we will be a slave of the technologies.
