When we think about Second Life, we only think about online game and something like virtual world. But there are increasing number of people and organizations who employig the game in application that are useful for more than entertainment.
A British organization called ARCI is using second life to help abused children to working on socialization, collaboration, team building, computer skills and more. A woman who goes by the in-world name of Gwyneth Llewelyn said, "they easily get in touch with people that they don't personally know."Another project is called live2give was undertaken by nine adults with cerebral palsy share the personal interactions. Because many of the real world challenges are bypassed in second life, fewer people have problem haging out with them. Also along with many other massively multiplayer online games, known as MMOs, Second Life offers players the ability to start in-world businesses selling things. There are no limits to the ways players can interact. They can communicate and socialize through normal chatting or instant messaging.
Second Life, allow players to fly, drive fantastical vehicles, dress up in outlandish outfits and build anything they could imagine is not no longer existing only in online game that effect negatively. Now it is use to cure people and help people to develop their socialization. These kind of organizations would appear more and more and then there will be great answers for how can we help and educate people who have handicap to interct with people.
