People Log On For A New Life - Dan Haggerty, WEWS Cleveland
Imagine jumping into a world where you can be anyone or anything you want to be. Imagine an online, virtual reality that anyone can log onto.... From Case Western Reserve's campus to the Rock Hall, you can roam around in a computer generated landscape. Wendy Shapiro said, "It's the blending of the virtual and the real." Shapiro is the Director of Instructional Technology and Academic Computing at Case Western Reserve University and she is like millions of other people who are part of that blend. She visits virtual dance clubs and meets people from all over the globe every day. But, she does all of this without ever leaving her computer chair. It's an online phenomenon called Second Life.
