Virtual Worlds and Sustainability

Hello Everyone, in today's blog post, we will talk about virtual worlds and sustainability.

Virtual worlds, which emerged with the development of technology, have generally emerged for gaming and allow people to do their work online. In this environment, users can communicate with people from different countries or different cities, earn money or study. In order to exist in the virtual world, they must first determine an identity for themselves. This ID can be the same as in real life or it can be an anonymous account. Interest in the virtual world is increasing day by day. Because the direction of technological developments and the direction of investments have also changed. There are many people who can live their lives in the virtual environment. Now let's talk about sustainability and how using virtual worlds supports sustainability. It is meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. We can say that virtual worlds support sustainability.Because we create a balanced environment where the potential to meet human needs and desires is preserved both for the present and for the future. At that time, when the Covid 19 epidemic increased and everyone stayed home, the interest in virtual worlds increased. People who could not go outside socialized in the virtual world and were able to go to cafes and concerts they could not go to in real life. A woman I met in second life told that she earned her rent by working in second life because she could not work in real life during covid time. Every work done in the virtual environment, not in the real environment, saves energy. We do less harm to nature. The use of more virtual worlds or the creation of more virtual environments will be more positive for future generations.
