• Ahh, But Residents Do Spend a Lot of Time in SL
  Spend some time in SL and you'll see what you've said...

  ..doesn't hold true for this virtual world. Unlike VRML or other VWs, many of the "chatters" do have an emotional tie to the locations and overall environment.
  
  Looking at the past amount of time and money that has gone into online, interactive, 3D worlds it's obvious many humans have a deep interest in this type of interaction. Just because the technology, companies and projects along this line of evolution have been outright failures or half imagined successes doesn't mean the metaverse isn't going to happen. I see SL as a living sign that it's getting close to the point where such a concept is technologically practical and actually can increase user interaction to another level.
