Sorry Second Life, My First Life is Already Too Full

I don't get it. And I'm not sure that many other people do either. With technology moving and evolving at lightning speed, and life as we know it is more productive and efficient as a result, who has time to have a Second Life? My first life is already so full, that I can barely keep up. That and it seems to me that you sort of have to have a forum of people to really do anything on Second Life, but not a single person I know is on there. The population on Second Life are supposedly gamers and the (highly) technically savvy, but my husband is a gamer, he makes video games, and I have had to tell him what the heck this is all about. He doesn't know anyone on Second Life either. Maybe it's a generation gap, but really? We aren't so far out of the younger "Internet" generation that we don't have a lot of friends that would supposedly be on Second Life. We are also not at all so technically un-savvy that Second Life would be one of those elusive technologies that we would never grasp, except that I really am not grasping the full reasoning or so-called popularity of it.

I think with the popularity of Facebook and Twitter growing by leaps and bounds, I'll stick to the conversations I have with my friends, over conversations that I may have with "furry" people or Avatars that may or may not look like the person with whom they are associated. It seems a little weird, and maybe that is the way it is supposed to be. But I like my normal conversations with my friends and collegues. At least this way, I know with whom I am talking. See ya later Second Life. I'll keep my first.

Let me know if anyone can give me a real life example of how Second Life can help me or make my life easier. I'm all ears.
