I think that Philip Rosedale explains that Second Life is a website that you either sign on to and when you do your experience can be completely up to you. It is a world that you make up in your mind. That is where Second Life comes into because; you create that world and those emotions. For example love, anger, and sexual fantasies. The avatar that you created and what you to choose to do with your avatar can seem real for someone. It is as if now your fantasies and imaginations are real scenarios. Users have all sort of different experiences and I think that Second Life lets you in a way choose your experiences.

In the interview Shirky describes Second Life as a mere avatar that represents yourself and you have a 3D social life. Second Life will soon be a place where everyone will be able to have contact with one another. Users that sign on to Second Life are there to interact with others and there are now users who simply sign on to Second Life to earn an income. There are other users who have signed on because it is now something that has been on the media. Shirky believes that Second Life will be all communication through schools and businesses within the years.
