The Second Life experience had some considerable coverage on blogs a week or so back and this week comes the English languagae version of a report by Dutch institute EPN oN Second Life. I picked it up from this blog though the original blog is here.
These are the findings that are provoking interest, or concern, depending on where you stand.
* A considerable portion of those surveyed stated that they spend more than 20 hours a week in the virtual world, Second Life. A large group indicates that more than 30 hours would be the amount of time which they spend there.
* It is striking that those surveyed who spend considerable time in Second Life frequently belong to the creative or IT professions.
* Many of those surveyed who indicated that they spend considerable time in Second Life were women. They are frequently better educated than the men, often at university level.
* The relationship between happiness in real life and in Second Life is strong in the group 30 hours and more except for those who are unhappy in real life. They are happier in Second Life. In the group are several people who are house-bound because of circumstances, illness or a handicap.
