The metaverse has literally nothing to do with that healthcare example. That’s a scanning technology. Many of the other examples are highly questionable too.

The panic in the crypto market is nothing new in the crypto world we have been through all this this before now and we passed through them especially we that has made a lot out of cryptocurrency i still remain thankful to Mrs Lisa Bruin who really used her expertise to help me in this crucial time.

Scary. As if the dark hole of social media wasn’t enough of a disaster. Now people will really be able to live in complete delusion!

Imagine a company paid lots of money to promote a failure. Welcome to the metaverse and the economist

Some newbies in crypto lack the knowledge of trading that's why they incure losses while trading, Mr Jeff helped me in trading and taught me how I can be able to analyze them which makes it easier for me to master.

I've come to realize as an investor that instead of letting my money sit idle in my savings account it is more productive to invest the little available and build a portfolio from the accumulated profit of investment

9:00 "real money"
This is all you need to know about the metaverse. They sell hallucinations, but charge real money.

[RobVicRJ]

Some metaverse examples and lots of cool non-metaverse tech mixed together to pump the hype on this subject. Very clever, Economist!

Do what everybody else is doing if you are okay with only having what everybody else has.Information that will pay you everyday, you've got to stop saving all your money.
Venture into investing some, if you really want financial stability.
Choose to grow and elevate your mind by studying audios, videos, attending conferences that will give you the edge!

I love corporate marketing disguised as my news.

You are putting a bunch of stuff related to graphical computing together and you are calling it the metaverse. Most of it is online videogames, which have existed for decades now. The rest is nice 3D rendering, which has existed for decades. The advantage of internet is to exchange information very fast, the advantage of the metaverse is to do it in.. 3D?

Haven't seen a single 3d movie yet and now im expected to spend time in Zuckerberg's wife fantasy world

[nanorider]

I'm sceptical. I approve of Lockheed Martin's and the health care initiatives, those can help us now, but the other things I'm sceptical of. The firms have poured billions of money into it and what have they got to show for it? We have just seen the crypto bubble burst and with the difficulties of limited computer power, no legislation and limited or no connection between "worlds" I can see a bubble ahead of us: The Meta-bubble bursting.

[kpaige]

The whole concept reminds me of the people on the space ship in WALL-E

[HibHab]

They won't.

You expect businesses to buy multiple $300-$400 VR Headsets and controllers to give to employees to bring home for meetings? No, they won't. They will just use Zoom.

[XOPOIIIO]

Imagine the virtual world where you can meet you colleagues, travel to foreign cities, or even get your pilot license. You probably heard of it, it's called the video game.
Guys, really, it's just a videogame + online connectivity + VR, there is nothing new here, it's a bull...t.

[overmanonfire]

If we call this infomercial, we would have given it more respect than it deserves

[jessstimpert]

As the economic crisis keep rising, one needs to have different streams of income, a well detailed diversified investment portfolio in the financial markets is needed to survive, as well as secure a profitable investment future, Thanks so much Mrs. Paula David for improving my portfolio.

[hebe]

So really this had nothing to do with Meta, rather just the general direction of the digital economy for the next few years

[daffyduck]

Metaverse is using VR at the office and VR at home. In other words, 8 yrs of sitting at the office, 8 yrs sitting at home, and 8 yrs of sleeping. That's a recipe for bone degeneration.
