Modeling Reality with Virtual Worlds

There are many different ways Virtual Worlds can be used. You can see the usage of these virtual worlds through the article " After Second Life, Can Virtual life get a reboot" by Diane Mehta. "It’s digital LEGOs if you will, but it’s a space for kids to exercise their imagination and to connect with others to also want to build and create things". Kids can think and use their minds to build things at a young age. Other ways Virtual worlds can be used in education and delivery services. The pros are that it gives us social connectivity and ways to not being alone anymore. The cons could be that it is very addicting and you might feel like it is your life. You can see this through an article "I"ve been in that club, just not in real life" by Dave Itzkoff in the NY Times because it shows how a person can visit a club/bar without actually going there. He can make the bar and its surrounded using pixels. This can also show how virtual worlds can foster creativity because it allows the mind to think and create. I feel like the virtual worlds has a big impact in the near future because i believe there will be holograms and a person can visit/meet another person through their own holograms. This might take place in another 20-30 years.
