Our idea!!!
Our idea was founded after watching a documentay called 'Wonderland - Virtual Adultery and Cyberspace Love' on BBC2 on Wednesday 30th January at 9.50pm. This covered the relationship between two people online, a married woman from America and a single man from England. Carolyn would spend 14 hours a night on the Second Life website even banishing her husband from the bedroom so she could continue using it late into the night. Second Life offers their members the chance to live however they want, which Carolyn sees as a better world than the real one. Even computer versions of themselves, or avatars, tend to be unrealistic as they are phsyically perfect and can do whatever they want. In Carolyn's case this involved having sex with an avatar from London. Carolyn's husband Lee even stood by her when she travelled to London to meet her virtual lover and see if they had a future in real life. They didn't and she soon returned home where her husband was waiting for her.
