Second life is an internet based virtual world which came to international attention via mainstream news media in late 2006 and early 2007. It is a downloadable client program that enables its users, called "residents", to interact with each other through motional avatars providing an advanced level of a social network service. "Residents" are able to explore, meet other Residents, socialise, participate in individual and group activities, create and trade items in the virtual world.

Second Life also features economy and real estate with its own currency referred to as "Linden Dollars, L$". Even the exhange rate fluctuates, as from February 2007 it has been quite stable at around L$ 270 to one US Dollar allowing residents to exchange US$ or other real world currencies for L$. The world also includes communication and transport, creation ( producing in game objects etc) and copyright, businesses and organisations and education.
