Think of how essential the internet is to everyday life now — that’s what the Metaverse could become in a lot less time than the internet did.
Neal Stephenson, a popular sci-fi writer coined the phrase “metaverse” in his first best-selling and breakthrough 1992 novel, Snow Crash. Now that concept is becoming a reality, and what’s more, you can invest in the metaverses. In Ready Player One, The OASIS is another example of an advanced virtual reality. Numerous other sci-fi authors, such as Ian M Banks, have created and used similar concepts within their novels.
Back in September, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg was clearly interested in advancing the metaverse. In a recent earnings call, Facebook made it clear that they want to unify communities, creators and eCommerce in the metaverse with Zuckerberg saying:
“Our overarching goal across all of these initiatives is to help bring the metaverse to life.”
And just last week Facebook rebranded to Meta and announced its plans to develop the “Metaverse.”
