Blog #2- the Metaverse

The Metaverse is virtual reality  immersive technology that allows you to communicate with other people through specialized apps. You are able to use your hand gestures, your voice and movement is expressed through it as well. People in the Metaverse can have digital representations of themselves. This does not only change social media and the way we use it, it also changes the way we communicate and view the internet. In just a few years everything would be immersed within VR, and marketing companies would effectively be fighting to get your attention in a 3D environment. Here is a link  I thought explained the Metaverse very well https://time.com/6116826/what-is-the-metaverse/

As exciting as this may seem, it is also scary as well. People will most likely become addicts of the metaverse and may prefer that reality to our own. As it is a new thing and we are not 100% sure what kind of negative aspects it may have, this means that before everything is set in stone  the government should work with the metaverse creators to create some sort of legislation or law to help make sure the metaverse is a safe environment for its users. We should analyze the down sides of our current social media platforms and try to fix all of these down sides in the metaverse.

Some are implying that Jobs will soon be available through the metaverse. I have heard that some people in 3rd world countries are already working on the metaverse and making more money than they are making working their real life jobs. 

The Metaverse is for sure going to have a huge impact on our future. Hopefully we are able to regulate/control it better than social media. I’m very excited to see how this can change our lives
