Reading #4- Virtual World

SecondLife and things of that nature absolutely boggle my mind. In a previous class of mine, I was introduced to Secondlife for the first time. My professor told me that Secondlife was starting to create some real life problems. Things like, affairs on second life. Is that really an affair? If you are married in real life, and you are married on second life, and having sex on second life, is that cheating on your wife? These are some of the problems that lawyers are having to deal with right now, and they are lost, they do not know how to handle it. Another example is a lady, and I forget her name, that was making hundreds or thousands of real dollars on second life with advertising. She then put on a seminar (on secondlife) to explain how she has done it. During this seminar somebody molested her avatar person and everybody left and it was a big debacle. Little did she know, she was going to lose lots and lots of real dollars because of this disaster. So she took it to court, and thje courts do not know how to deal with something like this. The courts said, this is a game, there is no room for it here in the real courts. But wait, if she is losing real american dollars then it should be a big deal right? I have never personally tried secondlife, but I do hear that it is fun. But these problems are problems that courts and marriages and such never ever expected to have to deal with, and there is certainly an adjustment period. Whats next? Thirdlife? Where you are animals or something, I dont know. I know that it is amazing what technology can do nowadays, its amazing that somebody can create these things such as Secondlife.

Reading #3-On the internet, nobody knows youre a dog

When I look at this cartoon, I think to myself that I am missing something. Is it as simple as it sounds, or is there something underneath the surface that I am missing? As far as what the cartoon is actually saying it is kind of funny, because I always think about that when I am playing poker online, nobody knows anything about me except that my screen name is mattymatt151. No idea where I am from, no idea what I'm doing, no idea what I look like, and no idea how old I am. You never know who you are talking to unless you are talking face to face. Even over the phone it could be somebody you're not expecting. I guess it makes you think about things and think about who you are talking to, that is of course if I am interpreting this comic the way I am supposed to.

Reading #2-Google, not your friend?

I dont know, maybe its me, but I dont really see this as a big problem. Maybe its that I'm a trusting guy that I dont care if Google knows what I'm searching, and have that all saved somewhere, but mostly its this; Even if Google does know what I search and have that saved, what are they gonna do? Do you think the president of Google is sitting around in his multi-million dollar house, drinking a martini and thinking to himself, "What can I do today to screw Matt Ferris?" I doubt it, I just dont see that as a real problem. Why are people so worried about this? Who cares? What are you doing wrong that you cant have Google look at? The way I see it, I think that Google is very much my friend because it is one of the quickest search engines there is, and if Goolge cares that I just searched for some new hockey gear using their search engine, then so be it I guess.
