Hi everyonee! Today, I would like to introduce you to Second Life, which is an 3 dimentional virtual world that allows users to create avatars and interact in their world! Even though it was launched in 2003, Second Life is still popular and people continue to spend nice time in this virtual world. It would be right to say it is actually ahead of its time since with its technology, Second Life is much more than having avatars, there are many things that you can do like creating new worlds, buildings, objects, animations, you can join social events like concerts and conferences, also chatting with other users through text and voice, buy clothes and things from shop, just like we do in our real world. Even you can make your online classes in Second Life, with the students sitting on desks, teacher on the board almost everything is possible in this virtual world!

So, in order to join Second Life, first you need to create a new account from its site, then download the application to your computer! After that sign in and you’ve taken your first step into this new world.
You can create or choose your own avatar, there are many options! I decided to give it a shot with the purple haired character!
Also, once you joined Second Life begins to give you instructions to how to play, move around and change your settings if you want. For example, you want to use W, A, S, D or the arrow keys on your keyboard to make your avatar move and turn. There are also other ways to move your avatar, press Alt + Shift + S to sit/stand, press Home if you’d like to fly/land, then Ctrl + R for always run!
Aand here are my avatar’s visiting Istanbul Uni Erasmus place!

If you would like to be a part of this 3D virtual world, go create your account, download Second Life to your computer and you are ready to begin your second life!
Thank you for reading!
