Hi Scott How do you think about this arena sociologically when the half life for change is so short across this area and SL is the first to emerge of a type of environment that is expected to be doubling in numbers yearly? Right now, environments like SL are seen much like the New World was seen by the first explorers who mapped their reality onto the new lands. Thus, it might seem more interesting to look at the immigrants and explorers. The rise of interactivity via the emerging technologies of PDA's and dual band cell phones which add dimensions to cross border knowledge transitions seems to point to much of the problems we are now seeing in the physical universe and would seem to suggest that close study would be instantaneously historical in nature, past rather than present/future oriented thoughts? tom tom abeles

Hi Scott Thanks- I will look at it My interest is from a present/future perspective. In the MMORPG's, there are bots with which the players can interact- simple but bots, never-the-less. The military now has over 4000 bots in the field and some of these have the ability to make their own decisions. Virtual Humans (as discussed in Peter Plantec's eponymous volume) point out that it might not be long before the MUVE's have their own-not approaching the intelligence of a Kurzweil Singularity ideal, but on their way. Thus, few if any who play in SL and the emerging MUVE will have encountered the "natives" Also, these embodied selves are changing, especially since many of the opportunities for interactions cross borders as with the PDA driven educational programs. Yet few who participate in these worlds, your course seemingly included, act as if these are culturally defined environments as opposed to just "meet-up" spaces which change the nature of the meet-up just by virtue of being in a different laboratory or discussion space. The social ecology seems almost transparent or even absent. thoughts? tom tom abeles
