Is Second Life digital come to life?
Posted by myg
Second Life gets considered by Read/Write Web as author Alex Iskold muses on the topic of our digital future. In it he discusses how things digital take on life of its own through virtual worlds like Second Life. He also talks about our real world experiences becoming increasingly documented, annotated and indexed in the digital world. Where the hell is all this headed? That’s what Iskold asks, and I toss it to Esteban.
Est? You think he found out about the time we climbed out of the box?
And by the way everybody, Alex and I got a puppy (a slobbery, cuddly, puppy smelling real one, not a digital one) and that has kept us a bit preoccupied since we got back from our trip. So, sorry we’ve not been around! But never fear, Met a Stranger Season 2 season premiere is near!

Of course, given the amount of data being collected, its analysis is rapidly moving beyond human capability. Ultimately, only those of us who have made a full transition into the digital world will be able to master the digital, leaving those lumps of flesh once more in the dust.
I love slobbery puppies
until they chew on my clothes.
Welcome back.
I have a digital thermometer.
