	Joho the Blog: Web as world
		The world towards which we turn in language has the same properties as language: It's referential in its meaning, those meanings have a history rooted in our cultures, and it is necessarily ambiguous and poorly edged.
		Both world and language are ultimately founded in the fact that we humans care about ourselves, others, and the world itself; take away caring and you take away the capacity for attention and the ability to let the world show itself in any particular ways.
		That world is so different from, say, the ancient Greek world (to take an example within my tradition) that you could spend your life trying to understand it and never succeed fully.

		In others each creator chooses a piece of land, a sector of space, or a province of the empire and creates their own little campaign world that is part of a larger whole.
		Portions of the world that don't fit too well can be separated by geographical distance, or by some sort of "barrier".
		These kind of shared worlds can be fun, especially when different cultures come into contact with each other: The Orcs find a way through the mountains and begin raiding the Elves, for example.

		This paper describes a shared virtual world with four key goals: a reasonable economic model; low latency for world synchronization; a hospitable environment for users; and affordances for social interaction.
		Virtual worlds can mirror the real world in their support of audio or text based communication, but it is difficult to mirror subtle actions and gestures to another person in computer-mediated environments.
		Over time the style of interactions may change in a virtual world to reflect a virtual world culture that is radically different than the culture of the real world.

		Launched in 1978, Thieves' World is sometimes erroneously hailed as "the first shared-world fantasy." Such labeling ignores older shared-world fantasy series like Conan, Tarzan and the Cthulhu mythos.
		But Thieves' World is a "first": Its creators, writer/editors Lynn Abbey and Robert Asprin, fashioned the first fantasy world deliberately designed for other authors to write about.
		After an absence of 13 years, Thieves' World returned in 2002 under the guidance of co-creator Lynn Abbey, who relaunched the series with her novel Sanctuary and the anthology Turning Points.

		Whilst progress on life expectancy and per capita income has been made in some areas of the developing world, large areas of the world continue to experience life threatening poverty as a daily reality.
