One thing Second Life, Online games, and high quality streaming video need to be successful is a broadband connection. Fortunately, it seems that broadband access is becoming less and less of an issue: U.S. residential broadband penetration is expected to exceed 50 percent in 2007--and the U.K. isn't far behind.

I was asked to do quality control on a computer-based learning program. Remind them that the visual cues of games, the need to think quickly, the immersive qualities all create an effective learning environment. How do you view the relation between an avatar - someone's online personality - and their real-life perception of themselves?

However, using them carries a social stigma among Metaverse denizens, in part because of the low visual quality of the rendered avatar; the Metaverse representations of a user in virtual-reality. The best known actualized example of a metaverse is probably Second Life but, it is by no means the only example.
