By now you’ve probably guessed that IBM has a serious interest in virtual worlds and the 3D Internet. We believe these environments will have a huge impact on the Web as we know it. You probably encounter skeptics and naysayers, as I do every day. While the technology today may be reminiscent of games of old and the environments do not provide a business level of stability yet, it is useful to remember the early days of the Web and reflect on the rapid maturity of those capabilities over the last decade. The technology of the Internet will improve, and 3D elements will become an increasing part of business applications."
