Modeling Reality with Virtual Worlds

                  Virtual worlds can have its cons and pros. Some people who are antisocial and  are feeling scared to go out in public  o talk with people is stressful at times Now there is no need to worry when you have virtual worlds on your side. According to the article"I've been in that club, just not in real life' "Despite knowing that its real-life inspiration exists right outside my door, I have spent the last few months making such visits to the Virtual Lower East Side (vles.com), a three-dimensional, Internet-based social network fastidiously modeled on a small but influential swath of Manhattan real estate." This particular individual did not want to go outside his house, even though there were a music club right down the block from his house.

              Virtual worlds can help healthcare facilities To make quick decisions in emergencies. Nurses in training are given a specific scenario in the virtual world and its up to them to make a decision on how to help the patient in the best possible way. In the article "Avatar ll: The hospital":"Virtual training also typically costs less than a full-dress drill with hired actors. It costs $1,000 to buy virtual land in Second Life from the game's creator, Linden Lab, and about $300 a month to maintain control of it. Programmers can then build their own virtual facilities or pay an expert to do it for them." In the article there are disaster drills that train medical and nursing students in their clinical skills. After the trainee students have finished with their procedure in a virtual world then an instructor will meet with them and see where they went wrong and help aid them in the best action to take in helping patients. Virtual worlds can spark creativity immensely in today society  by helping one acquire the knowledge as in this example before actually performing real world procedures on individuals patients who need treatment.
