Oh, won't it ever stop? The ever-so-worthy MacArthur Foundation is to sponsor events in Second Life in order to stimulate discussion of serious issues such as migration, and education, among young people. Says the charity's boss about Linden Lab's 3D environment: "Serious conversations take place there, people are deeply engaged, and that led us to think that maybe a major foundation ought to have a presence in the virtual world as well." This is much akin to a professor who hangs out at college parties in order better to understand the kids. Except not just any college social event; but the annual dress-as-your-fantasy bacchanalia.[IMG]http://feeds.gawker.com/~a/valleywag/full?i=0huuAd[/IMG]
