How The Metaverse Will Change The World | Brian Jung | TEDxRockville

There has been a lot of buzz around the metaverse these days with Facebook changing its name to Meta and the big tech giants investing heavily into this space. In this TEDx talk, Brian gives us a glimpse into the future of the metaverse and how it will impact every aspect of society be it socialization, communication, education, fashion or work.

He invested a lot in this kind of stuff so it is not surprising that he constantly lures us on the bright side of the Metaverse meanwhile ignore its catastrophic effect on society.

well over the lockdown period I didnt actually value tech and social media more, it was the opposite, I craved intimacy more than any other superficial stuff

[jilanielamin]

Whatever we do, we must have a balance between nature and technology

[primaryendo]

I like how everyone unanimously thinks this is a terrible idea

[shirinali]

the things i faced in school is not discipline but fear, not kindness but bulling, how the smart ones get acknowledged and weak ones left behind. real schooling begins when you face the real world, you only learn through experience, so missing out on that one year of school potentially was a blessing for these kids

The question is not "what" you can do. The question should be "why" you would want to do it. What he was focusing on is "what" we can do with metaverse or "what" some people has done. It is all very impressive. However, in order for it to change the world, people needs to know why we want to change for this.

Trust will be an even larger issue than it is now. That is very concerning. Ill opt way out of this. It doesnt excite me at all. Just because it becomes popular does not make it right or good...think...even more distracted and disconnected youth. I really appreciate your explanation though. Thanks man. Just don't mandate it 👌🏽

Save 17 minutes of your life. Go cook some meal, read some pages of a book, listen 6 songs. There's a lot of things you can do in 17 minutes. This video is just a list of corporate brands that will invade your life in new ways, and how this is supposed to be cool. I am just trying to leave the comment I would love to find when I came here. Time is precious.

Imagine, JUST IMAGINE, IMAGINE a world where we all sit at home connected to the metaverse pretending we live in the real world online.

[cameronmachado]

8:35 using the travis scott concert tragedy to sell the metaverse is borderline psychopathic.

[deltalima]

What if I told you everything about my life is NOT going to change? How I eat, how I hang out with my friends, how I shop. Mic drop BOOM

[BlackTizza]

Y'all should as well get ready for the mental damage and addictions from the metaverse technology. Don't always think of the advantages, the disadvantages would be devastating for some people in the long run. Big tech companies only think of the profit they make from their “assumed problem-solving innovations”

[nzrkm]

Some will disappear into the virtual world while the rest is of us learn to regain control of our dopamine intakes and rediscover real human interaction

[Purplehain]

Can't wait for all the mental health issues that will errupt through excessive use of truly immersive VR technology! 👍

[SloanMosley]

He’s really out here acting like what he’s describing isn’t a straight up dystopia.

[AS-hoym]

The metaverse looks to me like a giant theme park built by advertisers exclusively for avatars, and take my real world money for bits of code of clothing/ jewelry/ food/ destinations for said avatar, while trying to convince me that I'm having an "immersive" experience. Maybe I'm too old to understand new tech (I'm 32).

[highlyopinionated]

The applications are actually endless, education would be so interesting. Imagine stepping back into the Colleseum at its height. It's exciting yet scary at the same time. This was a great presentation.

[worksofhands]

The metaverse is more for the introverts who do not socialize physically, who do not date.

[timishere]

It's all down hill from here for humanity.

[ammartaj]

I cant wait to go to the gym in Metaverse ….
We will end up sitting home and completing all tasks virtually
