Dr Dobb’sis a respected resource for computer development, and has been so for thirty years now, but somewhere along the line, the good doctor started downing handfuls of valium, ketamine and DDR Ram chips, and decided that teaching people how to develop for the burgeoning world ofSecond Lifewould best be accomplished from withinSecond Life.
We received a press release earlier today touting the myriad benefits of what they’ve dubbed Life 2.0, a virtual conference withinSecond Lifeaimed at teaching people withinSecond Lifehow to develop forSecond Life, from withinSecond Life, hopefully while using the copyrighted title “Second Life” as often as possible. It seems that the books, real-world lectures and classroom educations on which our entire society has been created over the last several millennia are no longer effective at conveying ideas, so instead, one must e-dress them self as an anthropomorphic fox with elephantisized genitals in order to learn effectively.
Personally, I dropped out of college in an effort to spend more time downing pharmaceuticals and listening to Lynyrd Skynyrd albums, so I might be a bit out of touch with current teaching methods, but is immersing one’s students in a world where they can beassaulted by flocks of migratory phallireally in the best interest of education?
