It looks like, with some stupid exceptions aside, we're moving more and more into the realms of good reporting about SL, where journalists actually talk to people. Unlike many of these reports, which also highlights the warts (and lets face it, there are warts in the SL experience for all of us), the Washington Post is carrying a positive story about how people are finding Second Life is helping them cope with their illnesses, and some of the details about how the health care institutions are catching on to the idea too.There are quite a few vignettes of individuals finding their SL a positive and healing situations, as well as mention of the CDC, and the like. Another article to add to your portfolio of positives in Second Life.
(Thanks to Lori for the heads-up)
1. nice article, though I have to counter with the overly used cliche' "all things in moderation".
While SL does great things for a number of people with various situations. I've seen it destroy mariages and RL relationships as well, due to one half spending to much time in SL.
