comp paper 2 intro and topic

Anyone can do anything at anytime of the day. That is what it is like in virtual worlds. Just like in a real world people need to be entertained. In Second Life you can entertain yourself by talking to a friend to flying helicopters and jumping out of planes to skydive. Our world is limited as what our bodies allow us to do. Most of the time the older we get the harder it is for our bodies to withstand all that we want to do. But in Second Life it is different, there are no physical limitations on what can be done.

paragraph

This is the age of technology. Computers are getting smaller and faster. People are able to communicate with anyone around the world in just seconds. With the new advances in technology people are able to make new and better types of movies. One of which is Machinima. Machinima is a new type of movie creation. It is where you use avatars in an animated world and record a video from what is seen there. This artform is a very cost and time effective form of filmmaking within a virtual space combining animation, gaming and artificial intelligence.
