Virtual Worlds is playing a significant role in our life and it can be used in many ways. A good example will be education. "You can use virtual worlds in education, in
delivery services, or as an advanced form of tele-healthcare that offers so much
more than videoconferencing." Apply virtual world in education is a amazing idea, it has created a self-study environment. Comparing to traditional education, this new education function allows student access all the information that related to course though internet or some other method instead of books and teachers. In this way, student is able to fully use their imagination. the second example is training, "According to Linden Lab,
creators of Second Life, more than 1,400 organizations -- including large
companies, educational institutions, government agencies and even the U.S.
military -- use Second Life to hold meetings, conduct training and prototype
new technologies more efficiently.“ Some industry and organization like army, fireworks, and gas always come up with danger training and experiments. Virtual Worlds technology provide trainer a virtual environment that very close reality where they can minimize the risk during the testing and training.
Everything has its downside so virtual worlds. Virtual worlds provide us a better way to learn and getting better train but it also cause many young people began to indulge in the network world. "Children age 5-15 own at least half of those accounts—they’re using these worlds for entertainment, social connection, and learning." Due to this situation, lots of teenagers has being members of sub health group. Most of them are lack of exercise, healthy diet, and enough sleep. They are addicting to video games and enjoying their second life on line which lost connection with the reality.
I think virtual worlds foster creativity by giving people a space where they can build whatever in theirs mind and communicate with people who can had a new thoughts that could add to theirs idea. A example will be some App games that allows kids to build their own city with theirs thoughts. In the future, virtual world will provide more helps to human being in more industry. One example will including 3D Scanning, with help of 3D Scanning, We will have a better way to solve some problem from industrial design, Medical informatics and Future War.

After Second Life, Can
Virtual Worlds Get A Reboot. April 30, 2013.
Going to the Virtual Office
in Second Life, CNN.com: Nov 5, 2009
I totally agree with you by saying everything has it's downside ,Every world must continue to exist even when someone has left and any changes made by a person should remain in place. There are more cons then pros from the virtual worlds. Many different fields of medicine, law enforcement, architecture and aviation. A virtual world provides a chance to experience things that are impossible in real life as if you were actually for example fighting zombies in a game.
