Although in Second Life, the world is “virtual”, because it comes from the creative and imagination of computer. However, in fact the world is an objective reality, which will still exist after the residents leaving. This is not only a real and unreal existence of human being, but also it is a blend of real time and real space, which are the most important prominent feature of the virtual world. In second life, this is not only a game, as long as you can think whatever you want and you will have ability to achieve. For example, in the game, in the virtual world, you can buy the lands, build houses and then you can sell them to earn money, and the money you got can be even transferred to the real dollars in the real society.
