This argument seems to go on and on. Why does participating in Second Life make any sense at all? I won't go into the mutitude of reasons one could state, but I can tell you how I justify my use of Second Life.
1) IT'S AN INTERESTING EDUCATIONAL MEDIUM - HIGLY IMMERSIVE AND INTERACTIVE (...if you know how to use it; )
2) PURPOSE - WHEN YOU HAVE PURPOSE IN SL, e.g. EDUCATION, THE MEDIUM TAKES ON COMPLETELY DIFFERENT DYNAMICS BECAUSE A GOAL IS BEING PURSUED - ONE IS NOT REDUCED TO A MERE "CHAT ADDICT".
PS - IF ONE ONLY SEES SL AS A CHAT MEDIUM, THEY ARE SORELY UNAWARE OF WHAT'S POSSIBLE IN SL. TEXT-BASED COMMUNICATION IS NOT THE ONLY FORM OF COMMUNICATION POSSIBLE.
3) NETWORKING - HIGLY INTERESTING AND CREATIVE PEOPLE CAN BE FOUND "WASTING THEIR TIME" IN SECOND LIFE.
4) CREATIVITY - SL ACTS AS A WONDERFUL STIMULUS FOR CREATIVITY ( NOT JUST IN-WORLD BUT ALSO IN REAL LIFE)
