Assignment 1

I plan be observing people who use anthropomorphic avatars, commonly known as furries. They have have a very substantial population in Second Life. Since the population is so big, I plan to narrow down the numbers a bit by sticking to a particular group.

My observations would be done in both public areas and private. My groups of study tend to stick together and away from others. There are many public bars and clubs.

There are people in these areas during most the day, but they are more populated during the evening and night.

Most public meetings are social activities; and mostly consist of hanging out, talking, and dancing.
