Philip Rosedale: Second Life will become the web
In an interview available on the Guardian website, Philip Rosedale explains what he thinks about the future of Second Life:
“… I think that it’ll become more pervasive, especially if we open it up and standardize it. I’m not necessarily saying that this one company will control all those servers. No. We’re working on systems where you can have the servers outside of our company. But, yeah, it will become the Web. I believe that what we’re working on right now will become a more common way of using the Internet to retrieve information essentially…”
I really hope that Second Life will evolve into a standardized protocol, which can be used by different virtual worlds… worldwide. It’s like having, or not having, a common HTML for the web. We NEED it. Period.
