Class Readings and interesting note

Just a quick note to let you know that the readings for next week have been posted on our class resources page. If you don't see them, remember to refresh your browser.

On another note, I found something interesting today about hallucinogenic HUDs that you can purchase for your avatar. I am definitely NOT advocating their use in any way, but it is interesting to me that the "pharmaceutical" market has hit SL. Anyways, here is the SLURL http://slurl.com/secondlife/Nonacho/95/111/370.

Do you mean to say that your avatar might become addicted?:-)

I don't know... is that even possible????

And if an avatar becomes addicted, what effect does this have on the RL person?

It would be interesting to see because if the RL person does not have the same addictive results, then perhaps this could become a form of rehabilitation for RL drug users...

I can see a business possibility here,hmmm...Betty Ford Virtual Rehab for your avatar? But then again, in this world of spillover, the Virtual Police (VP's) would just as well throw your sorry v-bones in the v-can
