The Bu erfly Effect - p3 the person being taken advantage of will go through? Grasping the concept of the bu erfly effect has such important meaning when we truly understand the power we each have, the power to heal or hurt one another with that avatar anonymity. I can choose my ac ons be er when I understand their poten al for rippleeffect impact for good or bad. Telling ourselves SL and other virtual connec ons are just a game and in games no one can really get hurt, is a “indenial” mentality. Embracing our connectedness can make us much more aware of when we should get involved with the needs of others or in some cases when we should not. Some mes doing nothing is the best something we can do when we understand that cause and effect is grounds for looking before we leap. Even now as this ar cle is being prepared, the effect it may have, I can only wonder about. Yet I take some small comfort in knowing that my awareness of our connectedness, at the very least, makes me want to do the best I can for you in presen ng this piece. Maybe someday somewhere someone will be in a posi on of power and do what's right because they remembered a li le ar cle they read in a magazine. Now that, my friends, would truly be worth making a movie about.
