'Second life', a 3D virtual website, is deepening its footage in social media. First of its kind in creating virtual humans and communities to interact online. This has given a platform for many marketers to interact with their target groups virtually, which is not possible normally.
Now, A Korean couple allowed their child to starve to death because of their addiction to raising a 'virtual' child in a Second-Life-style game online. (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/03/05/couple-let-baby-starve-to_n_487287.html)
so people are giving as much, even more, importance than their real life. is this anything to do with the technology?
people are spending almost 6 hrs on social networking sites, giving less time for their personal life and family life. with our daily busy life schedules, humans are missing much of its real life experiences.
Marketers are concentrating in utilizing the low cost social media marketing effectively, giving an additional time for public to hang on to social media marketing. if this virtual life domination happens now, time comes in future when 'machines rule humans'.
