Similar to the topic of “How Obama Did It”, this helps people to connect with each other. This program seems to take socializing to another level by helping the children who are psychologically scared of socializing to overcome their fear. “They easily get in touch with people that they don't personally know," said Llewelyn, explaining how the children, who are forced into hiding to get away from abusive parents, benefit from the game. "This means we seem to break a barrier of socializing." It also allows people with different illnesses who usually have a hard time communicating to easily do what they typically cannot.
“In Second Life, there are no defined limits to the ways players can interact. They can communicate and socialize through normal chatting or instant messaging, or in clubs or associations.” This statement stirs up the idea of the negative effects of social networking. The people of who use this program may inherently become lost in this world where they can be whoever they want to be. Creating their own personality, developing the second life with not limits, or even becoming addicted to the point where it is almost unhealthy where this is the only thing they would do beside eating and sleeping.
