Tetaru, as a parent with a 21 year old I fully concur that kids between 18-mid-20s (or even later these days) on the whole want to be 'out there' experiencing real life (parties and all), and then talking about it with their peers on sites where they can post text and pictorial records of the 'real' them (although we all know that what gets posted on social networking sites like Facebook is indeed also often a carefully crafted 'identity'). People in this age group haven't seen enough of RL to want to spend much time in a virtual world like SL. I have traveled extensively over my 5 decades of existence and lived overseas for many years. I still love to travel and see new people and places, but I also immensely enjoy experiencing new (and familiar) things/places/people in SL. I think it is because of my rich life experience that I enjoy SL so much.
