Virtual Worlds and Cultural Differences

I just finished reading a great article on cultural differences when using email. It seems that in East Asian countries workers avoid using email to communicate with their superiors because it seems disrespectful. They fax them. I would say that Second Life would allow people to work while respecting cultural differences. East Asian workers could bow, wear business attire, or whatever makes them more comfortable when addressing their superior.

And finally, my workforce can feel comfortable working with me by wearing wings and falling to their knees when I enter a room. *grin*
