Even though the trend for the future is fairly clear, Professor Hong-who is himself preparing an education website-is less than optimistic about the market prospects for virtual products in Taiwan. "Taiwan is great at manufacturing but fairly weak when it comes to intellectual and information products, especially given how hard it has been to establish the idea of protecting and respecting intellectual property. This is a matter of concern for the future."
儘管未來的趨勢相當明顯，然而自己也在籌設教育網站的洪明洲，對國內虛擬產品的發展卻難掩憂心：「台灣很會製造貨品，但知識財、資訊財領域的產品比較弱；尤其國人對智慧財產權的保護和尊重一直難以建立，是未來發展的隱憂。」
