Some virtual and online environments have become meeting-places, of sorts, where people who do not normally see each other can interact and do things.

<span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 1.3em;">3. How has technology impacted our environment?
Technology has shaped our environment. For example, mining with machines, tools, and human labor has altered the landscape. A virtual environment is not like real life, so it can be altered to the person's will. Environments are the situations around us; what is happening around you. <span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 17px;">6. List three positives about virtual environments: <span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 17px;">1. They can be altered at the user's will. <span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 17px;">2. They are generally pre-determined in what will happen. <span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 17px;">3. They are quite fun. <span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 17px;">1. They can be distracting from what is actually happening. <span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 17px;">2. They are not real; things that happen in them generally would not happen in real life. <span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 17px;">3. Since the things in the environments are too perfect and predetermined, people can get addicted. This assignment requires a five-level, multifunctional video game.
