Ignore it if you want: the metaverse of 2022 is just like the internet of the early 1990s. It could change everything.
Picture this: it’s 2030 and you’re going on a date. You scour reviews for the best restaurant and meet up at a concert of your favourite artist. Afterwards, you go for a walk in an enchanted forest that looks like the Pandorian Biosphere from the James Cameron film, Avatar. Lovestruck, you visit a travel agency and book a trip together to Fiji. When Monday rolls around, you go to a workshop with your colleagues from around the world to collaborate on a project. Throughout it all, you haven’t left your living room. It all happened in the metaverse—except that flight to Fiji is really happening, you’ll get to meet your date in person, after all.
