Okay, get this...IBM will have their employees meet--have meetings in virtual reality. They have avatars that look like what they look like in real life , like Second Life, and they meet and discuss their projects in a room--virtual world, where they talk in real time. This saves the corp lots of money, no more flying to meetings, no more going into the office. It saves them money and then they can really globalize. One employee is in France, another in India, a couple in USA etc. Shocked

And get this--the Army has a free gamers room, like at a mall, where kids can come in and play war games. The Army is hoping that you will then enlist when you are older. I guess you will be all skilled up to fly those drones from your trailer in the Nevada desert. Rolling Eyes
