Hi All,
Nice to converse with you today in our "Information Technology and the Network Society" course (http://
For information and future ITanNS courses' sakes at
WUaS (both open and for credit), is anyone reading this book
"Networked"? Please email me if you are.
Here's the beginning Admissions' page at MIT OCW-centric WUaS - http://worlduniversity.
WUaS is seeking online high school applicants this
autumn to matriculate online for FREE, C.C., accredited, MIT OCW-centric
bachelor's degrees in 2014. Please let high school students you know,
your friends and networks know.
I'm posting the transcripts of today's two
conversations below. Think we can eventually put all libraries on chips
inside people's bodies, and even DNA, to help preserve and replicate
libraries (http://worlduniversity.wikia.
You are
also invited to a Google + group video Hangout WUaS Annual Business
Meeting (which is also WUaS's monthly business meeting) this Saturday from 9 am - 10 am PDT (California time), if you would like to participate! The agenda will be here soon - http://
Best regards,
Scott
[06:53] Aphilo Aarde: Networked -
[06:53] Aphilo Aarde: 3 The Internet Revolution
[06:54] Aphilo Aarde: Why Was Internet Adoption So Rapid and Widespread?
[06:55] Aphilo Aarde: The Personal and Connected Computer Supports Networked Individualism
[06:55] Aphilo Aarde: Hello Sphere!
[06:55] Aphilo Aarde: You clothes are always so beautiful
[06:55] Sphere Galaxy: Merry Greet Aphilio!
[06:55] Sphere Galaxy: Well.....
[06:55] Sphere Galaxy: I try.
[06:56] Aphilo Aarde: How's weather in Massachusetts in comparison with the Metaverse?
[06:56] Sphere Galaxy: Cold today.
[06:56] Sphere Galaxy: which is kind of nice, as it reduces the humidity.
[06:56] Aphilo Aarde: Differential weather reports are novel in the information age!
[06:56] Aphilo Aarde: Autumn colors?
[06:56] Sphere Galaxy: Hehehe
[06:56] Aphilo Aarde: :)
[06:56] Sphere Galaxy: Beginning, yes.
[06:57] Sphere Galaxy: Trying to remember.....CA?
[06:57] Aphilo Aarde: Avatars are developing ... yours nodded affirmatively.
[06:57] Aphilo Aarde: SF Bay Area ...
[06:57] Sphere Galaxy: kkkk
[06:58] Aphilo Aarde: sun is just coming up and the 10 months of sun are coming to an end ... with hints of the rainy season ahead
[06:58]
Sphere Galaxy: Well....This one doesn't change much anymore, but there
has been a change in the viewer so that I have to edit my hair every
time I login.
[06:58] Sphere Galaxy: Mud SLides.
[06:58] Aphilo Aarde: :)
[06:59] Aphilo Aarde: differential RL/MV (Real life / Metaverse or Multiverse) weather creates new hair creative opportunities :)
[06:59] Sphere Galaxy: Hehehe
[07:00] Aphilo Aarde: What did you study at MIT ... major in, if those are relevant words?
[07:00] Sphere Galaxy: I have LOTs of hair. I particularly like Calico's hair, but it seems the new viewer doesn't
[07:01]
Aphilo Aarde: Have you ever seen or produced a version of "Hair: The
Tribal Love Rock Musical" from the late 60s in SL or in the MV? ...
could be fun ... except for viewer updates
[07:01]
Sphere Galaxy: Well....I started in 6.3 -- Computer Science and
Electrical Engineering, but I found myself Hunting down profs in all
sorts of strange corners.
[07:01] Sphere Galaxy: Interhuman communication via computers was not a field of study at the time.
[07:02] Aphilo Aarde: unis are amazing that way ... and MIT in the 60s and Boston probably particuarly so
[07:02] Sphere Galaxy: 70s.
[07:02] Sphere Galaxy: I think I started in 70....
[07:02] Sphere Galaxy: The best prof was in Mech Eng.
[07:03] Sphere Galaxy: He turned my on to Murray Turoff (NJIT) and EIES.
[07:04] Aphilo Aarde: :) ... http://worlduniversity.wikia.
[07:04]
Sphere Galaxy: I was also playing with lots of cables and little
controls with knobs.......first attempt are real time response from the
audiance.
[07:04] Aphilo Aarde: that's a wiki WUaS subject on Interspecies Communication
[07:04] Aphilo Aarde: So Murray Turoff was at MIT before heading to NJIT?
[07:05] Sphere Galaxy: I was interested specifically in Computer mediated collective decisionmaking.
[07:05] Sphere Galaxy: Pure Democracy. by so me other name.
[07:05] Sphere Galaxy: some
[07:05] Aphilo Aarde: interactivity's emergence - digitally and technologically - are so fascinating
[07:06] Sphere Galaxy: No.....Murray Turoff was at NJIT.
[07:06] Aphilo Aarde: Example?
[07:06] Aphilo Aarde: ok
[07:06] Sphere Galaxy: But another ex prof was also an ex state legislator....
[07:06] Sphere Galaxy: his name will come to me eventually.
[07:07] Aphilo Aarde: of "Computer mediated collective decisionmaking. ...
[07:05] Sphere Galaxy: Pure Democracy. "
[07:07]
Sphere Galaxy: I spent a year at the Mass state house writing one page
explainations of technical problems and playing with EIES.
[07:09]
Sphere Galaxy: As soon as I sat down at my first "computer you can play
with" (a PDP-11) I started trying to write a program for people to
comment on each other's writing.
[07:09] Sphere Galaxy: Wanted to come up with some way for everyone to write the laws.
[07:09]
Aphilo Aarde: TCP/IP protocols were all written from 1973-79 ... so you
would be conceiving of all of this prior to the those information
technologies that made the distributed internet possible ...
[07:10] Sphere Galaxy: Pretty much....when I started work the Internet was something DARPA was up to.
[07:10] Aphilo Aarde: wonder how the technologies you were working on influenced what you were writing pre-dating TCP/IP for ex.
[07:11] Sphere Galaxy: I was writing line drivers that used PDP-11s as front ends to ISM Mainframes -- mostly in banks.
[07:11] Aphilo Aarde: you've lived the information revolution
[07:12] Sphere Galaxy: In 1980 (Jan 1)
I started working at Computer Corporation of America on Comet-11. That
was the first Commercial email system. It was centralized.
[07:12] Sphere Galaxy: I kind of missed it in some ways.
[07:12]
Aphilo Aarde: I've been curious about how we might create wiki law
opportunities ... blogged about this a few years ago I think
[07:13] Sphere Galaxy: I was working ix an X.25 environment when The Interent came along with SMTP and killed the Industry.
[07:13] Sphere Galaxy: Lessig.....Berkman....
[07:14]
Aphilo Aarde: PINE pre-dates that commercial email system by a few
years, I guess ... as well as other early UNIX email systems
[07:14] Aphilo Aarde: :(
[07:14]
Sphere Galaxy: During the first of the Copyright wars I went to a Hall
in Harvard and listened to Lessig debate....um....can't remember his
name.
[07:14] Aphilo Aarde: and POP occurred around that time ...
[07:14] Sphere Galaxy: THE MPAA.
[07:14] Aphilo Aarde: Lessig ... Berkman?
[07:14] Sphere Galaxy: POP is a connection protocol for SMTP
[07:15] Aphilo Aarde: ok
[07:15] Sphere Galaxy: Lawence Lessig.....a constitutional lawyer.
[07:15] Aphilo Aarde: Are you jumping 3 decades from your interesting history in the info age to the past 10 years?
[07:16] Aphilo Aarde: Yes ... I've met Larry but not Miles sp?)
[07:16] Sphere Galaxy: Um.....THis would have been earlier.
[07:16] Sphere Galaxy: About the time of the beginning of the opensource movement....
[07:16] Aphilo Aarde: I didn't realize Lessig was active around 1980
[07:17] Aphilo Aarde: ok
[07:17] Sphere Galaxy: Let's see....my son was trying to visit every Web page about then.....
[07:17] Aphilo Aarde: :)
[07:17] Sphere Galaxy: No.....1990s....early
[07:17] Aphilo Aarde: doable probably ...
[07:17] Sphere Galaxy: 93?
[07:18] Sphere Galaxy: My son realized that the number of pages was growing faster than he could visit.
[07:18] Sphere Galaxy: If he'd started a few months earlier he might have made it.
[07:19]
Aphilo Aarde: archives emerge out of such developments ... was your son
involved in creating access to growing web pages? ... like the Way Back
Machine ... is your son a programmer?
[07:19]
Sphere Galaxy: He was born in 1980....it would have been about 1991 or
92 when I cam home and found my computer turned into a BBS.
[07:20] Sphere Galaxy: No....my son is.....a lost soul....
[07:20] Aphilo Aarde: viewing the growth of web pages is a big wave to surf :)
[07:20] Sphere Galaxy: He certainly knows how to program.
[07:20] Aphilo Aarde: Alas ... and your computer became a Bulletin Board System ... alas as well
[07:20] Sphere Galaxy: but he cannot deal with people.....Aspberger's.
[07:20] Aphilo Aarde: alas
[07:21] Sphere Galaxy: Well.....
[07:21] Sphere Galaxy: I was off on a side thread while the Internet, SMTP, and the Web were born.
[07:22] Sphere Galaxy: PUlled over to it in the mid 1990s
[07:22]
Aphilo Aarde: (Did you happen to know at MIT in the early 1970s Brent
Hall, who was a student there, and also in this course in around 2007,
and who lives in the Boston area? )
[07:22] Sphere Galaxy: as Other email systems died.
[07:22] Aphilo Aarde: Yes, please continue?
[07:23] Sphere Galaxy: I don't think so...but I am terrible with names.
[07:23] Sphere Galaxy: I might have known him slightly.
[07:23] Aphilo Aarde: ok
[07:23] Aphilo Aarde: early email?
[07:23] Sphere Galaxy: Well....it was "Electronic Messaging"
[07:24] Sphere Galaxy: the feature of the Post Office was real.
[07:24] Sphere Galaxy: feat
[07:24] Sphere Galaxy: fear....sigh
[07:24] Sphere Galaxy: The fear.......
[07:24]
Aphilo Aarde: Per our "Networked" book which also offers a history of
some of the early developments of the internet in Chapter 3,
[07:24] Sphere Galaxy: We also had someone from No Such Agency (or maybe Military intelligence) come visit once.....
[07:25] Sphere Galaxy: Yes
[07:25] Sphere Galaxy: It was fairly late we started actually calling it mail.
[07:25] Aphilo Aarde: From Wikipedia "Electronic mail predates the
inception of the Internet and was in fact a crucial tool in creating
it,[5] but the history of modern, global Internet email services reaches
back to the early ARPANET. Standards for encoding email messages were
proposed as early as 1973 (RFC 561). Conversion from ARPANET to the
Internet in the early 1980s produced the core of the current services.
An email sent in the early 1970s looks quite similar to a basic text
message sent on the Internet today." ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
[07:25] Sphere Galaxy: We told them our system couldn't divert messages that contained specific words; which was true.
[07:26] Sphere Galaxy: YOu do understand the Internet means between the networks?
[07:26] Aphilo Aarde: interesting ... and that the USPO as network
and global public postal communications are all separate networks.
[07:26] Sphere Galaxy: All the networks in question are dead.
[07:27] Sphere Galaxy: I knew X.400 was a loss, but I was working on it when SMTP crushed the commercial email.
[07:27]
Aphilo Aarde: yes ... and literally ... but you lived the context out
of which 'internet' developed ... given all the co-networks
[07:28] Sphere Galaxy: Yes....we were connecting 90 terminals to a PDP-11; which was unheard of in those days.
[07:29]
Sphere Galaxy: THen I was finding ways to moving messages between
systems because one database wasn't enough for the traffic.
[07:29] Aphilo Aarde: the leaps and bounds of the internet are
astounding (when do you think or know we'll get real real time for music
jamming for example on the internet?)
[07:29] Sphere Galaxy: WHile I was busy earning a living my field suddenlt happened in Switzerland.
[07:29] Sphere Galaxy: suddenly
[07:29] Aphilo Aarde: fun to live and program such innovations :)
[07:30] Aphilo Aarde: which field?
[07:30] Sphere Galaxy: um....we seem to have no one else.....
[07:30] Sphere Galaxy: Now called "The Web"
[07:30] Aphilo Aarde: The PDP-11 was big ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
[07:31] Sphere Galaxy: Interhuman communication via computer.
[07:31] Sphere Galaxy: Died a corporate death.....
[07:31] Sphere Galaxy: the PDP-11 was the best design for a computer....
[07:31] Aphilo Aarde: nothing human brain to human brain back then to speak of? ...
[07:31] Sphere Galaxy: Everyone tried to copy it and failed...including Digital.
[07:31] Aphilo Aarde: because?
[07:32] Sphere Galaxy: Computers were just becoming cheap enough to even imagine that.
[07:32] Sphere Galaxy: Because the PDP-11 was designed by mathematicians.
[07:33] Sphere Galaxy: SOmeone knew their group theory.
[07:33] Aphilo Aarde: (Just added an interesting Harvard article about direct human brain to mouse brain connectivity here - http://worlduniversity.wikia.
[07:33] Aphilo Aarde: group theory influenced what programming-wise or design-wise?
[07:34] Sphere Galaxy: Have to look at it.....but that isn't the right way to think of the future.
[07:34]
Aphilo Aarde: (but I haven't seen human to human brain connectivity
examples yet, and also not with a brain wave headset, for ex)
[07:34] Sphere Galaxy: It won't be brain to brain ... as in wetware.
[07:35] Sphere Galaxy: It will be a merging of "wetware" and "hardware"
[07:35] Sphere Galaxy: That is, assuming civilization doesn't collapse.
[07:35] Aphilo Aarde: This is wetware - hardware brain to brain
connectivity ... Anthony, Sebastian. 2013. Harvard creates
brain-to-brain interface, allows humans to control other animals with
thoughts alone. July 31. extremetech.com. ...
[07:36] Aphilo Aarde: http://www.extremetech.com/
[07:36] Sphere Galaxy: If civilization doesn't collapse then the die has been cast.
[07:36] Aphilo Aarde: with a picture ...
[07:36] Sphere Galaxy: hehehe
[07:37] Aphilo Aarde: and I don't think any of the mammals involved were harmed ... analogously to you civilization collapse
[07:37] Sphere Galaxy: I wonder if they know where they are going?
[07:37] Sphere Galaxy: THere isn't really much of a choice about it.
[07:38]
Aphilo Aarde: language ... academic research and innovation and
nonharming ... would like to contribute to facilitating a far-reaching
conversation between these ...
[07:39] Sphere Galaxy: Well.....there is attempting to manage the flow of change.....and there is wishful thinking....
[07:39]
Aphilo Aarde: 3-100 million species with a nearly 4 billion year
history of genetic replication ... puts baby civilization in perspective
from me
[07:39] Sphere Galaxy: Yes....and no.
[07:40] Sphere Galaxy: We need to push that, for there is still the possibility of the Silicon beast.
[07:40]
Aphilo Aarde: And even if you begin with first cities 10,000 years ago
(which seems possibly late in defining civilization vis-a-vis language),
cities are only growing ... do cities = civilization or something
similar for you?
[07:40] Sphere Galaxy: But either civilization collapses, or we merge into a silicarbon being totally different than the past.
[07:42] Sphere Galaxy: History. is like....um...what is the word for the recapitulation during embryonic development?
[07:42] Aphilo Aarde: If cities collapse or not, silicarbon
continues ... as long as the factories are there to produce the
materials, I'd hypothesize ...
[07:42] Sphere Galaxy: Everying
that went before will define the detailed structure of what is to
come.....but it is not at all like what is to come.
[07:43] Sphere Galaxy: cities are not civilization.
[07:43] Aphilo Aarde: But cities for civilization ? ... what's civilization for you again?
[07:43] Sphere Galaxy: THere is not yet a vertical integration.
[07:43] Sphere Galaxy: No chip can generate another chip.
[07:44]
Aphilo Aarde: You're so wonderfully visionary i.t.-wise especially ...
and perhaps 'civilization collapse' is the sheet music or staff paper
... :)
[07:45] Sphere Galaxy: Civilization is the maintenance of abstracted knowledge..
[07:45] Aphilo Aarde: or the chorus ...
[07:46]
Aphilo Aarde: I'd hazard that libraries are saved ... but that WUaS, or
similar, hasn't yet been able to create 7,105 languages as wiki, of
them, on the scale of HYP Oxbridge / other great universities libraries
...
[07:47] Aphilo Aarde: before nuclear winter ... another analogy for civilization collapse for me
[07:47] Sphere Galaxy: THere are so many ways it can collapse, but only one general path if it does not.
[07:47] Aphilo Aarde: http://worlduniversity.wikia.
[07:48] Sphere Galaxy: I do not know the liklihood of collapse....so I assign an a-priori 50-50.
[07:48] Aphilo Aarde: get the libraries up an running on the
distributed internet in all 242 countries and in space to save
abstracted knowledge ... with enough people engaging these resources ...
"Always Coming Home" by Ursula K. Le Guin? ... :) ... all about
civilization into the future ...
[07:49] Aphilo Aarde: (and in 7,105 + languages)
[07:49] Sphere Galaxy: Never could read Le Guin.....
[07:49] Sphere Galaxy: Forget the libraries.
[07:50]
Aphilo Aarde: (just a response to your def of civ as "abstracted
knowledge" ... can be implanted in the few remaining people surviving
the nuclear winter)
[07:51] Sphere Galaxy: Any future which isn't a dark age begins
with the flow of messages between people becoming the basis of thought
for a higher order being.
[07:51] Aphilo Aarde: walking 7,105+
languages in peoples heads on hip chips ... semiconductors ... and
implanted in human DNA too ... so reproducible? :)
[07:52] Sphere Galaxy: IN a few years those people start being incorporated into that being.
[07:52] Sphere Galaxy: cili-carbon
[07:52] Sphere Galaxy: sili-carbon.
[07:53]
Sphere Galaxy: um.....Either the PC wins and I am part of the being, or
the centralized system wins and I am not part of it.
[07:53] Aphilo Aarde: think if we were going to put libraries of
abstracted knowledge on chips inside DNA, should be done in 3 million
species for the benefits of distribution across life forms, and thus
preservation, but not 100 millions species
[07:53] Sphere Galaxy: Not so simple....but the real war is between the cloud and the internet.
[07:54] Sphere Galaxy: Would be nice....but is it real?
[07:55]
Aphilo Aarde: we have chips inside human bodies already ... they'd have
to become a lot smaller, and perhaps change materials from silicon ...
Genomics is a place I'd begin ...
[07:55] Aphilo Aarde: http://worlduniversity.wikia.
[07:56]
Sphere Galaxy: I haven't had time to keep up with Synthetic
Biology....but there is at least one poster in my G+ stream really into
it.
[07:56] Aphilo Aarde: Wikidata and Wikipedias 285 languages are real ...
[07:56] Sphere Galaxy: I know that is where it will happen in a physical sense....but not so much in a philosophical sense.
[07:56] Aphilo Aarde: Gerd?
[07:56] Aphilo Aarde: http://worlduniversity.wikia.
[07:57] Sphere Galaxy: Not sure....
[07:57] Aphilo Aarde: I began this S.B. page out of our conversation
[07:57] Sphere Galaxy: I know it's important as a detail.
[07:57] Sphere Galaxy: kkkk
[07:57] Sphere Galaxy: I'll try ot make sense of it later.
[07:57] Aphilo Aarde: Gerd's a smart scientist ...
[07:58] Aphilo Aarde: Let's move over soon to the Hangout ... are you a Google Engineer as well per LinkedIn?
[07:58] Sphere Galaxy: The chips inside, and the carbon filiments outside.....
[07:59] Aphilo Aarde: Very nice to converse ... not sure where everyone else is ... Jessika emailed her regrets
[07:59] Sphere Galaxy: Philosophically, and Historically, the issue is how we define the higher order being.
[07:59] Sphere Galaxy: Most people can't even see the possibility of a being made up of our thinking....
[07:59] Aphilo Aarde: Philosophical Genetics ... oh, Darwin ... :)
[08:00]
Sphere Galaxy: THe don't see the beings which are nations, or systems
of belief.....so talking about designing a being which is all of
us......
[08:00] Aphilo Aarde: excited for when brain wave headsets feed
into virtual worlds so we can co-create duets of conversations, word and
image wise :)
[08:01] Sphere Galaxy: Well....we already do it....just with more primative tools.
[08:01] Aphilo Aarde: and the other way to ... when virtual worlds can enter us neurally and not just through the 5 senses ...
[08:01] Sphere Galaxy: 6 senses....
[08:01] Sphere Galaxy: COnsciousness is a sense.
[08:02] Aphilo Aarde: abstract functionalism per Ted Honderich ...
as the first current theory ... see his interesting talk here ...
[08:02] Sphere Galaxy: tag it
[08:02] Aphilo Aarde: http://worlduniversity.wikia.
[08:02] Aphilo Aarde: current first theory of consciousness ...
[08:03] Aphilo Aarde: :) into the Hangout ...
[08:03] Aphilo Aarde: see you there shortly
[08:03] Sphere Galaxy: ok
[08:03] Sphere Galaxy: with luck....

Good morning Jim, here!
8:12 AM
Um......
You are?
I see tht....now I have to figure out how to stop it.
I hear music...from somewhere.
Not my choice
hehehe
That is Jack.
Bilal Rana joined group chat.
8:13 AM
He is semi-feral.
8:13 AM
Hi
Nice to see you too.
8:14 AM
Do we know where the music comes from?
No
8:14 AM
I do not hair any music.
hear*
8:14 AM
Jack is just my reaction to having to have a icon.
this music isn't even slightly my choice.....
8:15 AM
Okay.
8:15 AM
Um.....I still hear music....
Silence would be good
Nope
I think this is coming from G+.....
8:17 AM
It can be your second life too.
8:17 AM
!!!
INteresting....I turn off the camera I don't have..
In chat you can have 40 people talk at the same time...but not here.
I clicked on the camera ico turning it red and no longer hear music.
8:20 AM
I am from Communication studies. No science.
8:22 AM
How does the Internet use people?
Hehehehehe
8:22 AM
It is about power too.
Where does the power lies.
8:23 AM
Yes Bilal!
THere is the immediate power....and the ultimate power.
8:23 AM
Some of us !
Are they technological bourgeois!
8:24 AM
We use it and it uses us.....this is the basics of OPen Systems.
Open
8:24 AM
What about technological divide, based on hardware !
8:25 AM
That divide is smaller than it used to be anyway.....
8:25 AM
Keeping an eye on everyone.
8:25 AM
Little Brother watching Big Brother watch LIttle Brother.
8:26 AM
While we happily giving out our freedom and privacy.
I think theory or ethics are far behind than technology.
8:27 AM
I sold out to Google....everyone else is guilty of theft.
Gene Loeb joined group chat.
8:28 AM
I think Bilal, that the ethics is just fine, but people seem to think the technoloogy is an ethical change.
8:28 AM
We are selling privacy for better communication.
8:28 AM
Hello Gene!
Yes....but I think I ought to get paid for my data....and only Google is paying.
I think Hangouts are rotten myself.
Very bad technology.
Gene Loeb left group chat.
8:30 AM
Hangouts are a reversion to one-to-many media....ought ot be dropped and forgotten.
Gene Loeb joined group chat.
8:31 AM
heheheheheheh
He'll catch up.
We can't reduce the picture and enlarge the chat....how stupid can Google be?????
8:32 AM
They want you to talk so they have your voice record too.
In case you decide to criticize US government.
8:33 AM
Not too interested in what they want, really. I'll wait for the many-to-many media to overwhelm them.
We are ignoring you. Why?
Have to remember, Scott, that I explicitly reject voice and video.....this is not simply being a Luddite.
He get here.....
8:37 AM
I simply want to listen to and comment on a great , knowledgeable person
and learn; not considering the deep stuff, just listening and thyinking
8:37 AM
I are doing everything to record everything about us. And sharing it with government.
8:37 AM
Go back to Gengish Kahn or it is meaningless.
8:37 AM
In Iraq ?
300,0000
By American numbers.
8:38 AM
Not tat far behind, no.
you need to scan them and respond to the gestalt.
8:38 AM
You can carry out.
carry on*
8:38 AM
I want to listen to what you know, scott,
8:38 AM
Hehehehe
Let's demonstrate what is wrong with one-to-many media by completely overwhelming Scott with with diferent topics.
We won't be doing this.
Bilal! YOu have something to say?
um.........I hard to work hard to get a cell phone which was only a phone.
I agree with Gene....Scott should talk and we should pick at him.
8:45 AM
If government opfficials listen to this, what we are saying, they will go insane and need to be hoospi8utlizaed!~
8:45 AM
You cannot keep up with an audiance that is using text. Responding to us is basically impossible.
Let the current; government listen Gene...they well be fushed by the technology.
8:47 AM
Scot, second life is novel, but there is so much to do with this course; I still don't feel comfortable with second life yet.
8:48 AM
Gene....Second Life (SL) is a bit difficult to get started with....mostly the fact that movement is based in animation software.
I can spend a bit of time, but mostly you will have to just wander about.
8:50 AM
Jim, that is what I do majority of time, WANDER ABOUT. hehehe
8:51 AM
Well....would you prefer a male or a female avatar companion?
I have the problem that I no longer live there.....
Either avie will be trying to find things that no longer exist.
8:53 AM
???? where do you live? heaven? Indonesia? toedo ohio?
8:54 AM
Hehehehe....I live in OSG....but Jim resides in Massachusetts.
8:54 AM
I want to visit,
8:56 AM
