Although this article from NPR does not really pertain to cyberspace or the use of internet, it explains how nuclear plans will begin to use virtual space as a way to train new employees and do emergency drills. The technology that they use for this project would be very realistic like those used in Pixar and Dreamworks movies. The virtual space that the software will provide will provide the users with an exact layout of the nuclear plant so the users will become familiar with the danger zones. Furthermore, the workers will go through multiple drills that may happen so that they would become familiar to the routine. This advancement is evident of how virtual world is becoming incorporated into the real world. In the future, I would not be surprised to find virtual space to be used more to train employees or even be used to hire them after finding out how people would react in certain situations.
