Research Paper Introduction

Ask anyone what their favorite form of entertainment is, and you will get many different answers. They can be ranging from watching sports, to going on vacations and spending time with their families, or it could just playing around or the computer. Entertainment is a way for most people to relax, have fun and/or blow off some steam after a long day. But some of the time the form of entertainment they seek is not available to them at that precise moment, so they have to seek it elsewhere, if it can’t be found in the real world or there are no means of getting to it, hey can go online and try to satisfy their craving for a certain form of entertainment. This poses a question, do aspects of virtual entertainment, such as in Second Life, compare to the same aspects in real world entertainment, and how do they differ?
