The Metaverse: How Will the Internet Turn Out?

 

The Metaverse

 

Now envision a world where the internet is not only skimming through .com pages but one can actually step into it. This is what the metaverse is all about. An imaginary space that combines virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) into the real world. But what does it actually mean for the futuristic concept of the internet?

As described above, the metaverse is the easiest way to understand it: it is an internet but in a three-dimensional interactive form even. Instead of browsing through us websites, one would be able to go to a virtual mall with friends, watch a concert, or even dial into a work meeting via video from the living room while sitting on a couch. It’s not only about games or watching a movie. However, entire industries are already thinking how the so-called metaverse could transform telecommuting or education or simply socialising. Such platforms are Meta, Roblox, Fortnite, and so forth, are developments towards that future where interaction, creation and teamwork will be done in digital spaces.

 

Naturally, these, and other, conclusions lead to concerns: What will be the measures for privacy protection in this environment? Is it going to be really everyone’s? And how much influence given the situation in technology the Big tech will have concerning this aspect? 

 

Conclusion:

At this nascent stage of the metaverse, one thing is apparent: it is capable of forever changing the internet. In the future, as the advancements in technology take shape, the division of physical and virtual interaction will get more integrated which will have its opportunities and challenges in relationships with the environment.
