I’ve been listening to a panel debating More Than Just a Game at Supernova this afternoon. And on the panel we had some very interesting people, including Philip Rosedale (Linden Labs), Amy Jo Kim (Shufflebrain), Michael Zyda (USC Gamepipe Lab), moderated by Dan Hunter of The Wharton School.

And I thought to myself, is it time to take the Net Neutrality debate into Second Life? That way, old fogeys like me will learn about some aspects of Generation M while working on something I feel passionate about.
