I took a look at the Second Life site. Its very interesting. At first I thought it would be a place were I could create my own virtual place. It would be fun to create a mini Rochester and our library, you could re-create all the different parts of the library and it could be a cool on-line tour of our library. Patrons could go to the reference desk and talk with a librarian or find out more about the nooks and cranies of the library.
I think that gaming for kids at home or at the library is good, as long as there is some balance. I don't think that people should spend their whole day or week playing games in a fantasy world and only talking to other people playing the virtual game. There is some much more to life that we need to experience that gaming can not do.
