!WOW!:
''CREATIVITY AND IDENTITY EVER LIMITLESS!''
Welcome to !WOW!
Its more fun to be Painter than the Paint!
Believe you me that on !WOW! -the greatest Student Network ever in the offing. collaboration for all ages has just about begun. Everyday, every moment, Students everywhere are coming together to change the way they work, live, play and learn. In years ahead, no matter where a child is born. there is every likelihood that he will be on !WOW!
Collaboration is on for all ages.
So with mash-ups reinventing everything from top to bottom and even vice versa. A place where every opinion counts. And anyone can be a contributor.
!WOW! will make everything possible as the story and post on Second Life continues.
Now it means you can buy tickets to a concert or attend or attend a fundraiser or sit down with a Business consultant to discuss how to sell your digital widgets and convert the payments into real world cash, sometimes tens of thousands of dollars worth.
Philip Rosedale explains, ''We knew it had to be market driven, driven by economy rather than the rules.'' Rosedale helped perfect many technologies mainly Online Video Streaming.
'''Just imagine eBay with no cost of goods and no shipping. Thats what we are. You get a Paypal account. you sell something in Second Life, you can have the money in your bank account and be paying your rent in a few days.''
With great imagination and guile, Rosedale speaks of emergence, physics and urban development -all the subjects that he has studied over the years while dreaming up Second Life --that lets you know it's not merely an alternate economy he wishes to bring about. It's a new society, one that lives in a more malleable world, where creativity and identity are limited only by one's ability to imagine them.
American Apparel operates a real store in Second Life, charging in- world-currency and converting it to real world dollars, for clothing bought and worn by users avatars.
And all this brings Philip Rosedale to one next development that intrigues him as much as the world he's created: ''I think there are interesting questions about the whole thing of Computers thinking. The next question beyond Second Life is whether things in there can think.'' Masterly Imagination!
Many many thanks to !WOW!
Good Night and God Bless!
