Facebook’s Meta isn’t what the Metaverse is Supposed to Be
Ever since their brand-change announcement last year, Facebook, or Meta now that it is changed, have been actively making grounds over the internet and how they are planning to revolutionize the way people use it. Supposing that Meta offers a full-blown experience to people who are planning to take part in the very first steps of the Metaverse.
To those who are not aware of what Metaverse is, it is regarded as the next step in the cycle of technological advancement, a novel addition to the Internet of Things if you will. The Metaverse promises to create a bigger world for modern people to live in by pushing technology to its utmost limits and meshing virtual reality and conventional reality together for limitless applications. In laymen’s terms. Think of Sword Art Online, or Tron the Movie, but without the negative effects.
Still, Mark Zuckerberg’s billions-worth enterprise desire to take the first bite out of this budding technology, and starting from its grand announcement to the public a lot of people, Facebook users and not, have something to say about this sudden move and change in brand, mostly negative.
What doesn’t sit well with people who are very hopeful about the Metaverse like a majority of people in the cryptocurrency industry is the implication that since they are to spearhead the cascade of Metaverse to the general public, they can easily monopolize the whole technology and do whatever they see fit with it, which greatly conflicts the vision of many people who believe in the Metaverse as a haven where no single company controls it but is rather a world that is governed by the people who builds it.
Still, regardless of whether Zuckerberg’s planning to become the next big boss of the metaverse world by releasing META, it still is the fact given that people are not happy with the changes he has imposed in his applications, then and now, investors aren’t so happy either as more of them focus more on Tesla as time goes by.
