Kicking and screaming

This week i learned how to delete my previous blog but then decide against doing it. I set up a gmail account and had a look at Virtual worlds. I looked at a video made by a librarian at the Uni of WA. Despite choosing to put wings on her avatar (of course her avatar is a much younger, slimmer version of herself, are there any female avatars over 30? what do feminists say about this? - all is vanity - but fairy wings?) her introduction was interesting and looked at the aims and objectives of it all and what constitutes 'work' in second life, as opposed to gaming I assume. Its an ever changing experimental interface. She talked about it being a new literacy; one that involves learning how to fly, teleport, chat and change appearance, such as stick wings on your back.
