Well I don’t want this to be a virtual travelogue, but . . .
‘I’ve spent a lot more time than I should have with this look into Second Life (SL) just trying to get up to speed — learning to walk, ‘teleport’ and basically figure things out and where to go. This is all before I even get to answer some of my original questions!
But, I’ve already learned a few things like, there’s no “injury” and at least no inadvertent virtual death in the kingdom because if that was so, my travels so far have taken me over a few cliffs and through a few failed flying experiments without any consequences. Yet trials and tribulations are expected as you get your feet wet (digitally speaking of course). You got to make a commitment here if you are going to find out what’s going on.
As I searched through what medical stuff was available, I found a heady list of offerings including the National Institutes for Health. Trying to get into the content behind these “institutions” will be another matter, however. You do get the feeling that a lot is happening behind the scenes but the challenge will be to access it in an understandable way.
By the end of a long and wandering evening, I finally found my first SL medical library (see picture above). More to come.
