I watched the FB boss explain the concept of the metaverse for more than an hour. Although I have always been very keen on cutting-edge technology, in the past year, I have become a little disgusted with the development of these high technologies. I feel that the whole world, society and people are made weird. I feel that the more technology develops, the more weird society becomes. Every depressed person on the street and on the subway is scrolling through their mobile phones. There are so many boring things to read. They read so much "rich and nutritious" information every day. Life is still the same from 9 to 5, working hard and trying their best to live. The facial expressions of the people on the subway on Monday morning all have the same emoticon.
After reading this, as a quasi-professional, I would like to talk about my understanding of the Metaverse. After all, we were in the IT industry more than ten years ago. It is a virtual world. In fact, the virtual world is not new. It has been around since the Internet. Ever since there have been QQ, blogs, Weibo, Xigua, Toutiao, Douyin and other community platforms. As long as everyone registers, logs in, and publishes something, they will have a virtual world from their own perspective. This metaverse makes full use of VR technology, which is a technology that has been developed in recent years. It allows participants to enter a virtual reality environment, emphasizing the sense of presence and immersion. Of course, the realization of the metaverse requires the use of the top level of many existing technologies, not just VR technology. I don’t know the details, I only have a rough idea. From this point of view, it is indeed quite exciting. It has opened up a big world. Many industries will be born, and many unheard of professions will appear. It is a very interesting profession. There are more and more freelance jobs, allowing people to focus more on the work itself without being interfered by various other social factors every day. This is a positive sign. As for FB, if this platform can become a reality or half of it in a few years, FB will once again make a lot of money. It is a very creative industrial revolution for FB. It is said that FB started as a social platform, and it feels that it has entered a bottleneck in its development. It is often boycotted by people. This kind of socialization against FB involves many problems. For example, in terms of performance in the social field, I think WeChat is better than FB, catching up from behind. The concept of this metaverse is very creative from the initial implementation of the foundation. Domestic giants cannot achieve this level. They may be able to catch up from behind, but it seems that in the history of the field of information technology, there has never been anything groundbreaking, just like the work is original. No, we have always imitated. The best performance is to catch up from behind. This gap reminds us again.
