The military is a good example of a company using virtual worlds for training, with simulators and what-not. I'm sure they've been doing it for years now. As time goes on and the workforce starts to get populated with younger people who are more adept at interacting with virtual worlds, it's easy to see how adopting these kinds of tools will become more of an accepted norm. Learning nowadays is gradually becoming focused more towards collaboration, self-initiated exploration (a.k.a. curiosity) and play. This makes utilizing a virtual world, be it populated by other people or NPC's, seem like a natural progression. Interesting post!
