We already have VRChat, Roblox, Minecraft, etc. Nobody wants to do Excel sheets in VR and board meetings with avatars. Let tech evolve based on fun and actual user needs.

When a business like Meta says they're building THE metaverse, it's like saying they are building THE website or THE game. To me, it doesn't make any sense. "Metaverse" is just the latest buzzword (reminiscent of the old buzzword "cyberspace") for a "shared 3D environment", which have been around for decades and no single company will have a monopoly on them. Rather, some of these 3D spaces might eventually link together (through 3D "doors" or "portals" or what-have-you) in the same way that websites can choose to link together today. But new buzzwords like the "metaverse" are useful for some things: primarily hyping up a company and attracting venture capital. 😏

[@WolfHeathen]

The idea of the metaverse comes from dystopian fiction. The part that all these metaverse companies (the ones that are serious about it and not just NFT/crypto scams) conveniently forget the dystopian part. The only reason for why a metaverse actually works in works of fiction such as Ready Player One is that the real world is so extremely depressing and awful that the metaverse functions as an escape for billions of people. The real world doesn't even get close the level of dystopia required for the metaverse to become a reality. Let's take a few examples... Anything you can do in the metaverse you can do better in real life, so there's no realistic reason for people to adopt it. Take income, for example. It's way easier for way more people to make way more money in the real world. There's no job market or economy large and efficient enough in the metaverse for this to be a valid option for the masses. The metaverse also can't provide the two most basic things humans need to function: food and sleep. Entertainment is also easier and simpler in the real world. Put on a headset just to log into a world just to watch a movie, listen to music or play a game? Honestly, what's the point? And when it comes to companies, why would they choose the metaverse? Going to work in the metaverse is inconvenient to say the least. Not only do you need to spend $1000+ on a VR headset, but you need to boot it up, then log into your account, then log into the world in question, then go the the fictional office building in this fictional world and then go to the fictional conference room in this fictional building just to have a simple meeting. Where's the logic in all this? Your metaverse conference meetings are never going to be more efficient than simply joining a Zoom, Skype or facetime call here in the real world. The metaverse doesn't actually solve any real-world problems, plain and simple. There's nothing it can offer that isn't already better or more efficient in the real world.

The metaverse is far more interesting than reality. It is not merely a mirror reflecting reality, it is open up another dimension. People will gain freedom and data privacy in the metaverse. People will regain control of their life. It is not a centralized world anymore. It is a decentralised, self-empowered free world.

They placed metaverse inside a casket and everyone is paying their last respect. If you see people crying, they are the ones who lost 19 billion dollars to metaverse.

Latest definition of life is whats leftover after Facebook and WhatsApp. Metaverse will swallow the remaining. Too much of anything will do harm is an old saying...too much technology will ruin everything.

Technology pessimism…..

[@bhaveshartsy7805]

we can't go back...once businesses start to use it there is no way we can go back. sorry but start using and embracing it and if you use it in moderation and by which you can get benefits.

[@bhaveshartsy7805]

btw I am also concerned about it, people will call it pessimism but I know with this technological development, if not used properly it will be a disaster for everyone on this planet.

The whole “digital twin” thing. They make it sound like a real life copy, digitally. But is it really? Does the object deform when impacted by a force?

What if the matrix movie was a documentary and not sci-fi? They want you to choose V.R. over your reality. That's what it essentially boils down to, isn't it? 🎭🕶

You are on youtube, not in reality. This isn't real. VR lets people actually interact socially in a virtual space, while this is just typing. People have said every new tech will end society..

It's still b2b most of time. What is for end user experience when uses this tech for the real world experience. Metaverse need currency protocol which might give stability and unique as real world currency for only digital currency. Not for central government backed currency. Banking industry application Public administration application Educational Aplication End to End user aplication ( not just chatting with vr ) Hardwear Industry. This something should be included.

I don’t believe they get that the Metaverse is collapsing. Maybe it can be saved, but competition is coming and that could put a steak in its heart.
