I am also not very familiar with virtual worlds and almost felt lost reading many of the articles in this journal. What did your article say the future of virtual worlds would be?
Virtual worlds are still a little odd to me. I think it is very interesting the direction they are taking within the business world though. If they keep changing at the pace they are now, it may not be long before we are all somehow involved in these worlds.
I agree with Mandi saying that Vertual Worlds are a little odd. I could see why growing and upcoming companies would want to go to virtual worlds. Companies can learn a lot from them.
I think virtual worlds will continue to evolve in both business and education.
Plus, I understand all of your comments regarding using virtual worlds. I truly believe you must immerse yourself “inworld” to understand them.
I was like you – confused on this virtual world concept. I consider myself pretty good on the Internet. My brother basically lives online and didn’t even know about it. This was definitely informative. I see a lot of entrepreneurship ideas available!
