I’ve got a Second Life character, and even though I rarely visit my fascination with the growth of this virtual world is only increasing. Reuters UK has an amazing story about the Second Life economy that points to further blurring of the line between what we normally consider the real and virtual worlds. (In a semi-related story, Reuters has announced that they’re opening a news bureau in Second Life.)

We’ve all got a lot of work to do if we are going to understand this new culture and figure out how to educate the kids that are raised in it.
