Maybe I am wrong, but in Austria exists a "Telegarden" in the Internet,
where everybody can be a gardener in a real garden together with all the
other Internetters: watering the plants, planting new plants etc.

The site is:
http://www.usc.edu/dept/garden/

Enjoy it and send your comments. It is meant as an experiment on how the
Internet society can handle real life plants.

Betreff: Microworlds


>Two questions I'm hoping someone can help me with for a research paper.
>
>1. Has anyone seen an example of a "microworld" program at a museum Web
site?  MUD programs I think are similar in that they support more than one
user and allow the movement of objects or alteration of the environment.
>
>2. Can anyone point me to the Virtual Garden where you can visit and water
the plants?  I've tried to find this through Yahoo and Alta Vista but these
have just turned up gardening sites and botanic gardens. I believe the
Virtual Garden is a "microworld" and might provide a good example for my
discussion.
