Another Perfect World: Youtube. Submarine. Sep. 12, 2009

Today we saw an thirty minute documentary on avatars. The video explained how so many people use these online worlds and how it affects them in real world. Some People create movements for video games and became millionaires just for selling the movement on an avatar world. Others have benefited by finding an actual life partner in life by meeting them through these virtual worlds. Kids in China make a living off of playing these games full time, by simply practicing all day and competing in tournaments to win money. These virtual worlds have took a complete new direction and now you can practically live your life through these worlds. Through these worlds you can create yourself and explore the world by walking around or even fly to your destinations. I am very curious and cannot wait to create an avatar.
