      Virtual world could be very helpful for creativities.  But how?  In the virtual world basically people can do anything they can do like in the real world by inmagination.  So people can be an avatar like a doctor working in the hospital or a patient going to see a doctor in the hospital. Like the game Avatar II: The Hospital.  Even more, business can have virtual meetings just in front of their own computers through virtual community Second Life the Virtual Office.

      Virtual world also could be very educational and informal to kids through 3D world exploring.  There are games such as Minecraft and Tinkatolli that inspired kids to be creative thinking, moving and creating. There are also a lot of apps that let kids make their own desert, pizza, and ice cream; also can let kids dress their own dolls, makeup their own models.
