When Is The Metaverse...
When Is The Metaverse...
"Metaverse" was first coined in 1992 in a science fiction novel called Snow Crash. Since then, the
term has come to imply virtual avatars interacting with one another in a digital world. Often, we
think about that as 3D; we think about it as virtual reality where you can do anything that you would
do in the real world.
The energy, momentum, and enthusiasm that I see around Web3, crypto & the metaverse — I
haven't seen it in over a decade. It's fascinating to get on the ground floor of this transformation
that's happening. Still, along with this enthusiasm, it makes it challenging because there's, quite
frankly, also a lot of chaos. There's a lot of definitions. Many people are trying to build skyscrapers
when we don't even have pipes and foundations yet for anything.
And so you have to like a little chaos to get into the scene right now. But one entrepreneur summed
it up so well for me last week that shares my thoughts with these developments: "When you have
the chance to be there at the start of the internet, why would you do anything else?"
Metaverse becomes this kind of aspirational term for talking about the future digital world. This big
word is what probably half the companies throw around since it's going to sound cool, innovative,
and tech-forward and they might be able to raise money more easily from venture capitalists.
We've all been getting primed to participate in the Metaverse over the past few years without
knowing it. The fact that all of our lives have gone remote and hybrid working online with people,
going to school, and even seeing doctors virtually -- we're getting used to having real-world
interactions in a digital setting.
I have created an entire series on the Metaverse that will release over the next several weeks. Learn

Quand arrive le « métaverse » ? Que doit-il se passer
pour nous y amener ? Quelles sont certaines des
tendances futures et des choses que nous devrions
considérer dans le métavers ? Avec autant de
définitions de ce qu'est le métavers, je pense que cela
le rend à la fois si excitant et si stimulant.
