Tuesday's discussion!

Tuesday we gathered at LnL's Lounge for another discussion! It was a fantastic group that created a lively event! For this week we chose the topic "Free entry sign? - The impact of SL in RL!". The connection, or lack of it, between Second Life and Real Life seems to be the source of controversy for many. The group talked about Second Life being strongly intertwined with RL for some and totally separated for others. Not many thought that SL influences their life decisions in RL, but most agreed that SL changed the way they reacted in RL making them more aware of who they are. There's a darker side of SL though, namely stalking, cheating, divorce, lawsuits, etc. in RL, that has its origin in SL in strong misconceptions and a certain emotional fragility and instability. To avoid these situations many defended how important it is to safeguard their identity by not sharing personal information in-world, others thought it is difficult to totally keep our data as privileged information. To conclude, one may say that Second Life and Real Life are two very complex realities that for some are connected and for others are simply two worlds apart. The important thing is to enjoy Second Life and take this experience with us to Real Life in a positive way! Join us next week for a new discussion about a new topic at LnL! We are looking forward to seeing you! :)
