which life would you choose? (tute task wk 5)

what are the qualitative differences between the regular IM program and a 3D environment?
The answer to this is that 3D takes you a step further as you can not only just communicate via text, but also by expressing your emotions in 3D form. Some games give you the opportunity to walk through the game itself as a character, and meet and greet other characters in the same environment, just as your in real life, but this is in the 3D experience. When creating a new profile, often their appearance they have created for the character can be quite different to what they look like in reality. This can give a false sense of personality and have an addictive affect to the user, as they often prefer to choose this virtual reality life over their own.

There are different kinds of socializing that happens in these spaces, as they are far different from reality. You can be anyone you want to be on there, and do whatever you wish to do, your imagination can be endless, it can transform your desires into your own type of reality, virtual reality. It makes much difference than the real world, in the sense that, anything is possible.
