Second Life Virtual World to Get Firefox
lecreuset writes "Clickable Culture has an article discussing the imminent wedding of Firefox and Second Life. From the article: 'The virtual world of Second Life will leverage an embedded version of Mozilla Firefox in a future release, supporting in-world web browsing and the display of web pages on the surfaces of 3D objects, according to developers at Linden Lab.'"
What is more dynamic than manipulating your world with the power of the written word? I never really understood why people want to see everything themselves, instead of using their imagination. I have found every attempt at a graphical role playing/virtual world game to be constraining and unpleasant.
Moving around in a pre-determined environment, and interacting with your world in only specified ways is hardly role playing/living a virtual life. It's unfortunate that the current trend has people who once would have picked up a book heading off to the movie theatre to see big explosions and horribly flat dialogue.
