¿What is Second Life?

Second Life (SL) is a 3D virtual world accessed through the Internet and where many people take the opportunity to live the life of your dreams, a life parallel to the real world in which only imagination sets limits .


Created in 2003 by Linden Labs, SL is inspired by the sci-fi novel Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson, in which he describes a parallel world on the Internet or "metaverse" where real people interact via avatars (sort of 3D animation that represent them).


Some people compare it with MMOG (massive multiplayer online games), such as World of Warcraft or The Sims. However, Second Life Not is a mission or target, should not earn  points and move from stage to reach the end of the game, not have to have an end.
