http://computerscience1124.blogspot.com/ , According to this blog social networking sites such as second life have had more success than failure and believes it's a good way to socialize, buy and sell through this site, since it uses real money. He or She makes a very interesting point that real transactions are being made through these site but is it social or anti-social? Networking sites may bring people together online but in the real world they may still feel awkward and like strangers when standing face to face with one another, which may just about be to steps backwards. As social creatures, we must remember the art of communication and not just how to speak through typing but vocalizing and being comfortable talking to another person without being shy, scared or timid. The next generation may be bold and brave online but are they weak and scared in the real world? Let's all take a deeper look at the severe long term consequences rather than the short term benefits.

http://brainwashedpeople.blogspot.com/, This blog has many interesting points but one that stood out to me in particular is the following statement : " Are we so tired of our actual reality,(and) to (o) stressed out with the so called real world that we need to create a new one in order to be happy." This makes us think about our relationship with the real world and our relationship with virtual online realities. If we're going online to find happiness in a world that doesn't even exist, we're obviously desperate for a better life. I too thought I could find happiness online but when I found Jesus Christ to be my God, my life has been lived in a completely new mind set and true joy.
