Script, Magic in Second Life (Final revised)

　　　It is said in the last news which introduced this foreign On-Line Game (OLG), Second Life (SL), to Taiwanese OLG players that SL would become more and more popular and well-known among the world in the future because people can get chances to learn foreign languages. According to the interviewees’ opinions, there is another reason why SL attracts its users. Besides the convenience, it provides people from all over the world with communicative opportunities and visual sex at will. This makes SL much more different from other OLG. To figure out how users in SL perform this action, it is necessary to understand “Scripts” in SL first.


　　Basically, all the actions of avatars are designed through “Scripts” and these scripts can be attached to some objects. That means, avatars can do some particular actions by touching certain things in SL. Take dance for example. Avatars are not equipped with the ability to dance; however, if an avatar touches a dance pole, he/she would be able to do strip dance immediately. Unlike other OLGs, SL not only provides well-done objects to users, but also allows users to have more liberties in interacting with it, including creating things in SL. Another example is the performance of sex. Users are free to create whatever they want to make so objects attached with sex actions are made and the performance of sex becomes possible. Nowadays, players can find these special objects in “Mature” areas, in which adult behaviors are allowed and these actions are performed by their avatars. As a result, SL nowadays draws more users to seek for visual sex instead of other purposes. This may attract Taiwanese OLG players to visit SL, too. If so, they will need to take a job first because those special objects are provided at high prices.

Script, Magic In Second Life

　　It is said in the last news that Second Life (SL) would become more and more popular and well-known among the world in the future; however, according to the interviewees’ opinions, there is another attractive reason of SL towards its users. It is besides the convenience it provides for people to communicate with people from all over the world at will that SL also affords users to have visual sex. This makes SL much different from other On-line Games (OLG). To fulfill the other OLG players’ curiousness, this news is going to reveal this mysterious feature of SL about how to perform this action in SL.

　　Basically, all the actions of avatars are designed by a function called “Script” and these scripts can be designed attaching to some objects. That means, amazingly, avatars can do some particular actions, which are not designed at first, by touching certain things in SL. Take dance for example. Avatars are not equipped with the ability to dance; however, if an avatar touches a dance pole, he/she would be able to do strip dance immediately. What is more, SL is unlike other OLGs only providing well-done objects to users; it also allows users to have more liberties in interacting with it, including creating things in SL. Thus it gave birth to the performance of sex. Users are free to create whatever objects they want to make so objects attached with sex actions are made as well and the performance of sex becomes possible. As a result, SL nowadays draws more users to seek for visual sex instead of other purposes.

New Wearing Style for School Boys

If you walk along the streets in Taiwan, you may see people in low rise pants or jeans displaying their “under beauty” towards you. It is especially popular among school boys that they would even pull their outer pants half down or pull up their underpants and so you can see these colorful pieces sticking out their shorts or pants saying hello to you. You don’t even recognize which should be out and which should be in sometimes. These boys seem to take this kind of wearing a way to show their characters and underpants are no longer a piece that should hide under other thing. You may see some unique designs such as a motto or a picture on their bottoms telling you what kind of people they are. According to these boys who are fond of this kind of wearing style, it is a mimic production of baggy pants. They think people who wear this kind of pants look cool because it is a sign of outgoer so they want to make their usual pants similar to this kind of pants in order to make them like outgoers.
People’s wearing style represents their characters. This position change of underpants and outer garment may give a code implying that Taiwanese people’s thoughts have changed. This shows that people living in Taiwan nowadays are confident enough to express themselves towards others. They are not afraid to display their flaws because they have turned their flaws into features. The only side effect is that you may not know whether to look at these features or not since they are all at a sensitive location.

Simple Traps for Lazy Brains

According to the survey provided by National Chung Cheng University, the amount of money been defrauded in Taiwan last year was one hundred fifty-five billion Taiwan dollars. It was even higher than the damage amount, which was hundred sixteen Taiwan dollars, caused by steal in the same year. Although the damage amount been defrauded it revealed is much higher than the amount of twelve point three Taiwan dollars revealed by Criminal Investigation Bureau (CIB), they are both huge amounts. In addition to this, CIB also reveals that fraud was the only criminal which increased its happening rate last year as well.

In the cases piled by CIB, there were indeed evildoers winning people’s confidence by revealing their stolen private data; however, there were still frauds using fake titles and gained their purpose. What were more unbelievable, people who got defrauded by these simple and crude traps actually knew that they had not done such a thing which the gangsters told them. There were not only people who had not received a good education but also people who were well-educated or high-educated defrauded by this kind of frauds. It is seen that it was not depending on the height of education to judge whether a person would avoid being trapped or not. Besides this, some people got defrauded twice or more without conscious.

It is said by CIB that the reason people getting defrauded is due to lack for living experience according to all these cases. Living experience is not equal to knowledge but accumulated by daily observations. Therefore, lacking living experience is lacking understanding of living world. It is people who do not actively get to know their living environment that gives the chance for gangsters to succeed. Due to the modern industry and commerce society, which requires highly efficiency in everything, Taiwanese people have become less willing to spend a period of time doing one thing at a time. They demand to do several things at a time and this makes them spend less time doing each thing. Since they have little time for each job, it seems to become an excess to let them get further understand of their jobs. Thus it creates a lot of crimes set up for this flaw and fraud is one of them. If people want to reduce the damage amount caused by defrauded, they should pay more attention to their lives, staying away from being lazy to get to know their living environment.

Simple Traps For Lazy Brains

　　In an industry and commerce society, which requires highly efficiency in everything, Taiwanese people have become less willing to spend a period of time doing one thing at a time. They demand to do several things at a time and this makes them spend less time doing each thing. Since they have little time for each job, it seems to become an excess to let them get further understand of their jobs. Thus it creates a lot of crimes set up for this flaw. Take defraud for example. It has rapidly increased in recent years. People who lack for living experiences would probably get in trapped. In other words, people who are fooled by these gangs are not familiar with the process of the event these gangsters making use of. Until today, there are still many people been swindled and lost their belongings every year. Unbelievably, most of the tricks are very simple such as a phone call informing them they have won a large prize, which is held by an anonymous organization they do not even hear before.

　　It is hard to tell whether it is due to the convenient Internet or the permanent cram education culture of Taiwan that people no longer spend time searching for necessary details they need. They just sit in front of a computer, keying in the key words and wait for the approximate correct answers coming out. Whenever they can not get a proper answer they need, they turn to ask someone else to figure it out. Therefore, when they get into a certain event which they are not dealing with everyday, they easily trust in the people who seem to be kind to teach them because they are not willing to find out the answer themselves. If people keep staying in this state, lazy to look for answers by themselves, the amount of wealth been defrauded would keep raising year by year. If you are this kind of person who always waits for somebody to tell you the answer, be ware, the racketeers are targeting you!
