Second Life (SL) is quickly becoming one of the worlds largest MMO's (Massive Multi-player Online Environment) with some predicting it will soon be the largest by far. Like many large online social environments SL is attracting what can be called "early pioneers". It is these pioneers both private and corporate that will shape and "occupy" this new frontier.

Currently SL has 5.5 million members and is projected to hit 10 million members by the end of 2007. Why all the fuss? Well, SL came up with the idea that everything created "in-world" would be owned by the person or company that created it, in essence creating a new virtual market, a market with its own currency (Linden Dollars) that can be exchanged for real world (RW) currency, US$. Through this stroke of genius, or luck, Second Life's creators have effectively ushered in the worlds next revolution.

In the 20th Century we progressed from the industrial revolution to the information age, in the 21st Century, I predict, we will now enter the next stage, the next revolution. The "age of inspiration".

For the first time designers have a platform for creation where the outcome immediately has a tangible value. A platform for recognition regardless of geographical location. A platform for unlimited collaboration and critique. A platform to accelerate consumption, capitalism, and democracy without depleting resources. A platform for a new currency, the "currency of ideas".
