Shannon+Week+7

Week seven focuses on the adoption of Virtual Worlds. It is important to point out that Virtual Worlds are just hitting the early adoption phase which means that the rest of the phases are still based on predictions. There is a huge move in the college environment to move distance courses into the virtual arena. Educators are among the top early adopters of this technology and will likely continue to influence the early majority. Students will grow up with this technology and will likely continue its advancement until it is a part of life and fully adopted. The only interruption that I can foresee is the creation of a technology that superceeds what is currently available.
