Second Life

There are thousands of places to visit in Second Life that will fascinate and sometimes question your mind. Once users of this program understand how to navigate various locations by teleporting and learn how to interact with objects. Everyone has the ability to enjoy whatever their destination preference is and have their own way of experiencing these destinations. I think that is the real beauty of exploring Second Life. My first teleportation selection was in the destination showcase tab. The place was called, Racer’s Island, a place that is meant for racing and buying cars. When I first got there, all around me were racing signs and automobiles waiting to be sold. Sadly, there was no one else there at my time of arrival, but I still enjoyed all of the racing memorabilia. My second location was called Info Island. This destination is the library for our classroom and mostly all of our students have been to this location. This locations description included, . The classmate I decided to bring to Info Island was Madeline Finnern. The first location we went to was called Sacred Texts, it was a Christian church. Around the church Christian music played and there were bibles and pictures of religious figures. On the church there was an information guide. This guide let to Christian beliefs, symbols of religion, and the history behind the different religions. The second place I visited was the Genealogy Research Center. This center offers exhibits, programs, and meetings about old ancestry. Inside, chairs were spread out for reading books and maps were on the walls to read about historic events. I personally just viewed the different maps and sat down starring for a while. My next location was to a hanging out spot discussing the mysteries of Nancy Drew. I have always like reading the books in the past. There was a really cool set up of lounge styled chairs and a fireplace. This was an

    First off, something which makes this trip a new and fun experience is the space theater. The space theater is basically like a normal movie theater, but what makes this theater unique from the others is it makes you feel like you're really there, sort of like virtual reality. Secondly, another item that makes this trip enjoyable is the shell finding, where you could uncover unique fossils and stones. I personally thought this was cool since I found many unseen fossils and gems in the game. Thirdly, the most memorable and brilliant place out of the whole museum is the car exhibit. The car exhibit consists of cars from the late '80s to the late '90s, which…

    When it came down to me finding out where I wanted to do my site visitation for this class, it was actually a lot harder than I thought. I grew up in a household that had Hindu morals and values, however, my parents’ view on religion were quite vague. Growing up we never attended church (temple) and the only time we celebrated any religious holiday is when our grandparents came around. My parents believed in allowing my little sister and I to grow into our own religious beliefs. At first I considered practicing Christianity because most of my friends are Christian and I figured it would give me an opportunity to learn more about them. I ended up attended a service at a Baptist Church called New Birth Baptist Church located in North Miami, but when I sat down to write the paper I had nothing interesting to write about. I started researching different religions and finally came across a Buddhist temple called Wat Buddharangsi.…

    The tour proceeded downstairs, once again, and an explanation was given on the huge wall map, that showed the route of the first built international highway. This display was part of the room’s dividing wall panel that divided the long, narrow room into two sections. The first part of this timeline took place on the eastern side of the room, which depicted the first American interstate highway. The beautiful exhibits, viewed both right and left, was accessed by a meandering pathway. Highlighted was the road and railroad’s development, which included machinery and tools complemented by well displayed cardboard, cutouts of people and animals, working along the route. The display was very effective. This section of the timeline ended with a short video before we entered into a large room that resembled a laboratory. This theme indicated the early inventions of renowned inhabitants of Springfield. After transitioning through a narrow bypass, a huge room exhibited an enormous array of machinery and equipment, once popular, and used in Springfield. They were clearly labelled on white board, and for some displays, explanations further elaborated the history. There was also a display of silk flowers in a greenhouse that signified Springfield’s history in the florist trade. The tour then continued on the other side of the divided long room. Again, the effective use of center and side cardboard panels depicted the newer developments in Springfield before its eventual decline. In contrast to the Pennsylvania House, the tour was far less interactive as we were not encouraged to take part in questioning and answering sessions along the…

    My most memorable place would have to be Panama City beach, FL. I found out about this hot and wild vacation spot while I was a high school student. From tenth grade to twelfth I was constantly hearing about spring break in Panama City. The best time during the school year to go was always on spring break because spring break was always a week long and around that time panama was always live. I was drawn to Panama City beach because after the spring break of the year was over students were constantly talking about what a good time they had, how nice the beach was, and how much fun and thick the parties were every night the break took place.…

    The environment in Second Life will be familiar to anyone who has played The Sims, Grand Theft Auto, visited Disney World or read Neal Stephenson's Snow Crash. But make no mistake. This isn't a game. It is potentially a whole new Net. Reuters has opened a news bureau in Second Life and interviewed such luminaries as Arianna Huffington there.
