Second Life getting Second Wind?

We used to be quite active in Second Life (though I have to confess to never being that excited by it, despite the enthusiasm I tried to show my students).
I’ve felt for a while that tomorrow’s students, growing up on Minecraft might well be more responsive to it than those we worked with nearly 10 years ago. (Was it really that long?!) However, I’d not really considered the implications of VR, Google glass etc., till I read today’s ReadWrite post, and developments that Linden labs are taking. Perhaps it’s time to re-awaken Emmadw Rickenbacker.
