Virtual Worlds
The Horizon Report, 2007 Edition Virtual Worlds
- Time to Adoption: Two to Three Years
- “Campuses and businesses have established locations in these worlds, much as they were creating websites a dozen years ago. In the same way that the number and sophistication of websites grew very quickly as more people began to browse, virtual locations will become more common and more mature as the trend continues.”
