Modeling Reality with Virtual Words
Nowadays, there are different ways that virtual worlds can benefit us. First, we should look at what advances these virtual worlds can offer. In our modern world, virtual worlds are helping in social connectivity, in delivering education and services. Virtual world never be able to replace real world, however, it helps people virtually connect to the world. Some people might feel alone in social connectivity, but virtual world can help those people to be connected with the world. For example, in real life it might be difficult to express your feelings, thoughts or ideas. But in virtual world you feel free to express any of your thoughts or ideas. It is a space to show your creativity. Why? It is simply because you can share your creative works, pictures, ideas, or find unlimited data to your special needs. Instead of going to the library or finding the book you want to read you can simply log on to the computer and access to the infinite data. It is simple and fast way to get knowledge about particular things. Sometimes, virtual world may isolate people from each other doing such outdoor activities or to be engaged to their loved ones in real life, but it connects people virtually. As Diana Mehta mentions in one of her articles "One thing tech has led us to consider is what some people consider a sense of isolation. We're "alone together" as Sherry Turkle says in her latest book. In virtual world, however, you are not alone together, you are really, truly together - connected by these bodily representations caused avatars." This is really true that in virtual worlds we are truly together.
Morever, virtual words help students to explore the world, get information about anything they want. As Joe Earle says in the article of "The virtual world moves into the classroom", Virtual world offers students a chance to experience places and people they might not otherwise encounter. It seems to me to be a great way to help school kids and students understand the prospective like they can experience the world through virtual world. I believe that in near future virtual world will replace every aspect of our life leading people to the progress.
