We are living in a world where technology is ruling every aspect of our being. From the advancement in transportation to the advancements in the way we communicate, technology is growing more and more smart, advance, and complex making our life simpler and intricate. When it comes to the idea of if Second Life’s power being a disruptive technology, it depends on the way a person looks at it. Are we considering Second life power disruptive because of way it demands attention and wipes out its current competition or do we consider it to be disruptive on the bases of the skills and attention the new technology demands?
Second life technology replaced many things. From the way we communicate to the way we learn, second life has made life and living simpler. There is no need to communicate face to face with others. Second life has made it possible to communicate with advanced cell phones, video chatting such as Skyping, etc. In addition, trips to the library are not in high demand. E-readers and Nooks have been created to enhance learning and reading in the palm of an individuals hand.
Technology is changing rapidly. It seems as if as the days past, technology becomes wiser and more advance thus replacing its existing competition. Therefore, it is my belief that it will not take years for Second Life to show it other face.
Second Life has forded many opportunities in the education realm. Online classes have taken flight. Classrooms are becoming more and more technological savvy by blogging, podcasting, etc. Many schools are reconstructing their curriculums to cater to the demand of technologies many changes. Therefore, preparing students for a 21st century world should be the vision and goal for every school.
