What are the implications for the arts and society?

Although Second Life isn’t a highly graphically intensive program it would not contribute much to art. It is the creative process of its users that really makes an impact on art. Each user has the ability to create new and excites works of art, reenact plays or simply build a poetry house welcoming all. It simply is a second life, a life where you can take your curiosity and creativity and explore it.

Second Life has a lot of pros and cons to its societal impact. Society can definitely benefit from this virtual world. One can find love, or just a buddy that likes to talk and simulate driving race cars. One can get closer then ever possible to what they have always dreamed about doing with there lives but just thought it wasn’t possible. On the other hand, this program can be a cesspool for predators anywhere in the world. One can never tell if the avatar they are conversing with, is what or who they say they are.
