Linden Labs, the makers of virtual life game Second Life will be doing away with its CTO, Cory Ondrejka. Cory was an essential part of the initial team that created the game that has evolved into an alter identity for netizens.
Second Life is cool for its position on letting users have rights to their own IP. This has resulted in the popularity of the platform not only for recreation but also as a commercial entity. Several companies such as IBM are known to have virtual offices and also field virtual interviews.
Perhaps, with globalisation occurring at the speed of thought and human access physically obstructed by travel hazels, online worlds are the next best alternative to leverage human resource. Internet has increasingly made the world appear closer, though on a abstraction. We are connected, but we are far. Virtual worlds build one more layer on that abstraction. Now we are connected and present.
