Why Has Facebook Changed Its Name To Meta?

You've probably seen the news just a few weeks ago Facebook announced that
they're changing their company name to meta because they're planning on building
something called the metaverse. I don't think enough people are talking about this
that the metaverse is going to change my life, it's going to change your life. So, we
need to understand what it is? Why people are excited about it. But then also how
it has the potential to end society. As we know it the concept of the metaverse is
this throughout history we have constantly been moving towards more and more
engaging mediums.

Metaverse.

The word meta comes from the Greek word which means beyond. To an
outsider, a metaverse looks like a version of VR. But some people think that it
could be the future of the internet. Facebook said that it intends to start trading its
share under the new stork's tricks from 1 December.

The Metaverse could be a problem..... HOW?

We've gone from reading books and papers to now spending most of our
spare time, watching tik tok on the internet and the metaverse is what comes next
an internet that you're not just looking at through a screen but that you're actually
inside of taking anything you could think of doing right now shopping chatting
with friends meditating to ASMR videos on youtube and now imagine that in the
time it takes you to just snap your fingers you could be doing that thing in a way
that feels real with other people who feel present in a setting that's whatever you
want it to be a living shared everlasting virtual universe that's meta's vision of the
metaverse achieved through a combination of augmented reality and virtual reality
which they've said that they will subsidize the cost of to get as many people on this
planet to be a part of the metaverse and in case I wasn't clear this is pretty damn
cool then there are some undeniable positives like just to get obvious out the way.

The metal vest will allow you to live out your fantasies in one single evening you
could be slaying enemies in handheld combat you could be playing a quiet game
of chess on the streets of new york and surfboarding across the tropics of the
Bahamas all with incredible realism but at the same time the reassurance that you
are safe at home and on a similar note there is also a comfort to the idea that
you'll also be able to express yourself. However, you want to know how now you
have a profile picture for your social media accounts the kind of image that
represents you to other people well in the metaverse you won't just have an
image you will have an avatar a fully three-dimensional living depiction of you but
you in the way that you would want to do you ever wish you were three inches
taller now you can do you ever wish you had a bigger forehead now you can have
one you can be any gender. I think they just use them to make it seem a little bit
less creepy the truth is though meta is also working on the tech to create
completely lifelike avatars fully rendered with every hair on their head and if we
pour on their skin this is not a game this will feel like real life and what I'm saying
is that this realism combined with the sheer amount of choices you'll get will
allow you to feel like you're not being constrained by the body that you are
physically born into in real life you could be someone with a severe disability in a
wheelchair but in the metaverse forget walking you could be able to fly. These are
some benefits or disadvantages where Metaverse could be a problem.
