- Everyone is blabbing about the metaverse. But what does this future digital world look like?
WSJ’s Joanna Stern checked into a hotel and strapped on the Meta Quest 2 virtual-reality headset for the day. She went to work meetings with Spatial and Horizon Worlds, hung out with new avatar friends in AltspaceVR and even exercised while playing games.

It literally looks like something that will make everyone more sad and lonely.
no doubt it will.
More private people 🤣
You are right
@@amandaatchley5257 Plandemic
I mean it brings people together, so I doubt that.
1990: dont sit too close to the TV its bad for your eyes
2021:
True. Even relevant today.
LOL right?!
If you want to experience mental breakdown then spend time on metaverse
I live in nyc.
Guess what. My kids get not more than 15 min of cartoon time daily. The rest of the time I FORCE them to play in “dirt”, draw, do stupid things, hit their knees, ride bike, learn things etc.
Those who say you learn online. Your not. You can’t learn anything online. It’s damaging to your brain.
@@VIDEOZAL Dude… seriously? I understand the completely necessary and beneficial aspects of spending time outdoors, and learning things in the real world, but to say you can’t learn anything online is just blatantly false.
The reactions to meta verse have reinforced my faith in humanity
It shouldn't, not understanding the vast amounts of good that will eventually come out of this space is sad.
@@FlockofSmeagles thinking any good will come out of this is sad.
@@SA1NT53 The inevitable decline of the use and waste of precious metals is a pretty good start. TV's, monitors, silicon as whole.
I know your monkey brain can't comprehend anything beyond what scares you, but this tech will evolve away from virtual environments. It already is. The Hololens 2, while primitive. Is a good example of what you can expect the "metaverse" to be like.
@@FlockofSmeagles I’m gonna take a wild guess and assume that you’re also an advocate for electric cars? I’m gonna wait until you completely engulf yourself in the meta verse, to the point to where you won’t even be able to write coherently anymore. We’ll see what good comes out of this
Absolutely. I thought people were going to jump in head first. I'm glad people do want to connect with real people still.
I don't want to be trapped in Facebookland. I just want to hang out with my friends in the real world and chill.
True. But I have a good friend living in Dubai and I'm in the US. This tech can make that hang out for us to be even closer? Or when I'm being deployed to another country for work but my wife is at home, we can still hang out! This is the future!
Then do it ?
Trapped in Facebookland? Ironically, there are more people trapped in the real world than trapped in Facebookland. How many people are living in the real world who actually wish they were somewhere else?
Then do it. No ones going to force you to go in. Just like with social media. No one is forcing you to post on Instagram or watch videos on Facebook. I’m sure plenty of people will boycott the meta verse and not use it. But I’m sure one day just like where the internet is at most people who aren’t using it will become disconnected from the world.
We are all trapped with our smartphone already.
I’ll never understand this obsession of finding a new world for humans to escape to instead of just collectively working to fix the one we already have.
It's hopelessness disguised as hope (false hope) this agenda that's being enacted is truly anti human. You see the warning signs all over the place.
Some people just ignore real world problems and escape to fake worlds
This is Zuckerbergs “ fixing it”
This is the one!!
Underrated
Imagine a company like Meta pitching this as "new" when I've been in social VR (VRChat and NeosVR) for over 3,000 hours since Jan 2019. We've had avatars with legs all that time. And I've had fully tracked legs for dancing since 2020. Wouldn't ever spend 24 hours in VR or work or sleep in it, but I regularly go up to 7-8 hours in VR with friends who can't meet irl because we're all over the world.
Sounds dumb
Fair enough but this will popularize it
@@HeatherPropes someone isnt aware of how the launch of meta horizons went
Ikr :))
I was in 2nd life about 10 years ago. Was fun but it wasn't there yet. I'll try this. I limit myself to h I urs sitting though. I don't binge shows either.
Once everyone lives in the metaverse the real world will start to normalise 😂
It will be available only to wealthy people. The rest will live in helmets.

Metaverse allows you to do everything you want in the real life, forgetting that you can do all of that in the real life 😂
The idea is to eliminate the "supposed stress" and make people lazy to do things in real life!
The world has literally started feeling like a sci-fi movie.

Ever since 2020 the world has felt like a movie or one long black mirror episode
True
the world has always been a movie… they been promoting their plans in entertainment since the beginning of time ….so when they actually release it to the public , you’re already desensitized to it . you’re more accepting of it . nothing new .
And the kid revenge is the winner😈
Ever since 2012
I had said a Simpsons Treehouse of Horror episode. Black mirror is about right.
All I know is introverts will become legends inside metaverse.
Metaverse: Bringing people together towards isolation
they isolate you to better dictate your thougts
This is by far the most inspiring thing ive ever seen...im inspired to throw away every electronic i own and run to live in the forest
Bro like legit.🤞
Bro at first... you scared me 😂
Me2. I really don’t belong in this world.
You should, for now we can feel like we can hide but in the future we will know for sure that we cannot hide not by land nor by sea and it is true. There is only someone that can protect and guide us in our life. The normal I guess that we knew is no more but life is so worth living and we have life through someone. A channel I can recommend is Living Waters.
Also here's another video about archaic Virtual Reality.
m.th-cam.com/video/1G2NbVvlIm4/w-d-xo.html
this is so depressing no matter how good it sounds
Yes and I think its sounds totally stupid. These 'men' casting this crsp have the $$$ (they shouldn't..we should get $$ back in taxes from them) to do much more decent things
True, it sounds so amazing and so cool to basically do everything your doing in the real world in your room but do l so depressing. Like you'll never leave your house or have any real world interactions
The age of deception are upon us.
It sounds terrible
vr is fun in short bursts but I do not recommend playing for more than 2 hours straight. but getting quest 2 is one of the best decisions I have ever made.
No one explained the metaverse better to me than the Wall Street Journal. This video was superb.
I hope this is satire.
Boomer 🤣
50 years from now kids will look back at this video and say " why are these people wearing a headset. Why can't they just plug the wire into their skull." Lol
People will get a chip at birth
@@tatendatasara that’s not true at all.. i doubt brain chips will be allowed to be placed into undeveloped brains unless there is some medical need for intervention.
@@spiritaam6689 “I doubt it will be allowed”
You do realize it’s currently “allowed” to mutilate infant genitalia at birth, right?
Wires will gone long before the headset
In 50 years nobody will remember what talking was.
I feel sorry for the children of our future.
So do I…
Depends if the parents allow that… If they don’t buy vr lenses etc, there is nothing to worry
@@florecitadelcampo13 then they will feel left out. And more importantly most daily activities will revolve around using the VR, Metaverse like phones and tablets so most parents wont have any choice
@@TheAakeeb93
Parents: hate me now, thank me later
We don't have to let them plug in
I can see the value (to the tech companies) of creating the next Facebook using AR/VR technology. It can change things but I think it's definitely over hyped. It's just a tool to do the same things we've always done; socialize. And we've already had very similar tools with any kind of social hang out games. Seems like it's basically refining VR chat.
First it was the letter. Then it was morse code. Then we got the landline phone. Eventually towers and satellites. The world wide web connected everyone on the planet in an instant. Now, we can see and interact with each other physically from anywhere on the planet.
You're right, we're doing exactly what we've always done. With every social innovation came with it an entire world of change.
This really inspired me to go hiking in a forest. Best environment ad ever.

Quite telling.
You can't leave your unprotected, vulnerable body at risk. But really, even in a locked environment, that is what you are doing.
Excellent observation
Great point
It beats sending text messages to your friends.
When I’m playing on VR for like 1-2 hours I feel like I’m still there when I take off my headset

fun fact: you can also work, meet friends and shopping without a computer strapped on your face.

high five homie, was looking for a black mirror or ready player 1 reference 🙌
My immediate thought
Once VR is nerve link gear like in Sword Art Online I'll truly feel like I'm in black mirror.
This is the video they show you to get you on board
Predictive programing
As someone who loves VR to death, I'm really glad that it has stayed a niche thing that's mainly for enthusiasts. Without the hordes of idiots you get everywhere else online, it's a fun place to go to get away from them.
As someone who is not a complete secluded loser, thank god VR exists to keep people like you inside and occupied indoors so we never have to see and smell people like u irl
If you think social media is making people depressed... Wait what Metaverse will do. Zuck is even pitching getting together with your family inside metaverse like it's a good thing. Our society is doomed.
I’m really proud of most of humanity for taking one look at this and immediately saying “How about no”
Same, I guess not all hope is lost
But in the end most of us will get one 😂

I agree with you even though your a communist
@@SpanishEnthusiastt the duality of man.
We will make world commi again when everyone is in metaverse
You are extremely privileged to say that. Imagine being disabled, poor, not able to travel, VR metavese can provide entertainment to elderly with digital hikes, it can provide hospital bound people ways to communicate with loved ones....
That's what people said about the internet 20 years ago. It was exactly the same thing, people were starting to meet each other online, and many people said "this is crazy, I'll never do this".
Thanks for explaining and showing great examples of the Metaverse.
Your level of civility is incredibly refreshing amongst the other comments on this video.
Is that you, mark?
I think its a dope concept as specially when graphics are insane and you get full body suits so you can feel things. You can literally be and do anything you want.

avid gamer(in que right now). yea, this is bad. we dont need more ways to connect through technology, we need to reconnect in the real world.
legit
For everyone typing comments here, you're old enough to not be the target for this meta thing. This is meant to be for the next generation, every baby you currently see, will be on this thing and by that time, it will have advanced into something more realistic and appealing. I'm really glad that I experienced the world for what it is and that my life will not be part of a small box glued to my eyes.
The next generation already has VRchat, Hatsune Miku, and more. We don't need this.
as a vrchat player that already literally sleeps in vr when i get the chance you picked the worse things to do you barely touched the top of what it really is
VR was a huge dream of mine as a child but now its just scary
It really isn't if you just give it a try islts no dystopian scifi land nor it it controlling your brain or anything crazy like that it's just a immersive form of gaming in a nutshell
Immersive gaming is a scary prospect within itself
@@steverogers3251 except that we now live in an era where there are stripping us of our rights and freedom and making virtual socializing the only way to connect with people. And this will be a perfect excuse for why it's ok. They can argue that it's practically no different from real life to pacify us and further chisel away our freedoms.
@@aprilthomas1489 the fact that you’re pulling the “government corruption” card just because people want to utilize advanced technology in a social way just makes your presence scream “foil tin hat”
@@rolfthebolf maybe you're right perhaps I was hallucinating the last couple of years where they stripped most rights and freedoms away from the entire world over a nasty flu.
I'm glad that everyone else is also feeling off put with this man
Not me, I use VR. I use it about as much as I played normal video games. Its basically just the same as what we already have just more immersive. It shouldn't be used to replace any real life stuff.
@@TheDeathOfLucifer me too I use vrchat alot practically every day and I've also played re7 and re4 in VR it's just that this video in particular just feels off for some reason... basically a gut feeling
Yep, there’s hope for the world 🌎
That's definitely a woman
Tho, you know sooner or later most of the people will give in and actually throw away their real life and only care about that virtual world. I hope that I don't become one of those people. Like playing on pc is pretty distracting as is can't imagine an immersive enviroment trying to replace real life
I love StepApp because it makes it easy and fun to track my fitness progress and earn rewards for reaching my goals. The $fitfi token program is an added bonus that motivates me to stay active. #StepApp #fitfi #Metaverse #MoveToEarn
Usually meta Verse was for tough to get job done places. Like driving a ski to get some things moved from one place to other. As a kind of virtual transport in extreme cold places. Etc. Or a tenth floor hazardous painting.
A product no one wants, no one needs, debases humanity and enslaves users. What a great product!

Many people resort to things when they feel lonely. Imagine it being so addicting because the moment you take off your AR glasses or VR headsets, you remember you felt isolated without them, so you put them back on. People will loose their sense of who they are for a fake virtual world.
that's how I felt when I was gaming for months straight during summer vacations lol I walked out my door and felt so weird being outside in the real world I had developed actual anxiety to the point I was struggling actually walking outside my front door. Afraid of being judged by other people, I felt so out of place and had struggle communicating with real human beings. It took me a month to adjust to reality again. Virtual reality is great but it should be looked at as a fun tool/toy to play with for a little bit not as a escape or full integration to your life. More like a watch you can wear/use when necessary but not rely or depend on.
@@this_epic_name Oh like social media lives vs reality/real life. 100% gonna happen.
They KNOW how it will affect people psychologically but choose to market it anyways. Just like how they made Facebook with corrupt algorithms.
Social media already does this to people. Especially young people. We're pretty much already in the metaverse. It's pretty scary
You say this like social media hasn’t been doing this for years already
I haven't watched the video yet and I already feel sorry for the poor girl just from reading the title. 24 hours in the Metaverse, that's torture!!!
If this works, optometrists are going to get rich! There's no way your eyes won't suffer over time using these headsets.
don't forget orthopedists cuz I know many will sit all day on their beds letting their bones return to dust, withering away because they got no more use
It is comforting seeing so many people against this, but i cant help but feel this is inevitably gonna be the future, mainly the younger generations are gonna fall for this.
Yes sadly the younger generations will be the target. Im 40 and i dont care anymore about "tech advancements" anymore.
the issue is that they have a "thing" for every generation. and most of the people of every generation are falling for that "thing" instead of trying to find the real purpose of why we are here.
it is easy to pick on the next generation and pin point what will doom them/their times but we kinda forget that we also have our own things that doomed our generation/the generations of the ones before us.
Couple of examples be it Alcohol, music , partying, drugs, gaming, pornography, movies, TV's, smartphones etc. (if you think about it even older phones are just steps to get towards the meta verse... you don't have to leave your house and actually meet the person /knock on their door and check on them in real life... you could just hit a number and he/she will answer and its all virtual/unreal life.)
we need to figure out why we are here. how did we get here and what is our purpose.
This is amazing what are u talking about
All u old heads need to get out of the comments and go to work 💀
@@missles I'm 24 yo.. I wouldn't say that I'm an "old head" lol.

Get a glimpse of how scary it will continue, if we don't collectively fight it!: th-cam.com/video/7j66b2yXISA/w-d-xo.html
But who is going to do anything about it? Collectively or otherwise?
But people will definitely buy VR & Metaverse just for "Experience" like Video games 🤣
Finally people are waking up
@@Jukinj94 What needs to be done about it? Just ignore it. Unless they push it on kids, then it's time to face the wall.
Good video that tell us what the Metaverse really means to us.
They need to make a whole suit for this. Or make it really real while your mind is inside the game.
I deleted FB and Instagram a year ago and my life improved within days. I'll never go back. Even watching this video about the Metaverse and VR gives me mild anxiety. I'll pass.

Preditive programming
Like so many other things in this world we live in, like the other person said too, predictive programming.
I prefer skynet…
💯
I dont trust that jew at all...
I noticed that the whole time was spent without any extra battery packs or anything, so it stands to reason that you have to take the headset off for around 2 hours at a time to recharge...that's about an additional 8 hours or so being out of the headset as well, so if you think about it, (not counting the time you took it off to sleep) you certainly did NOT spend 24 hours in VR
Reminds me of my experience in an early incarnation of SL in terms of the graphics and AV interaction, only I didn't need to wear a headset.
In the end, everyone will end up lonely when the headset comes off!!
and power outages.
also the people who invested on this , are going to be happy in the end :D love metaverse projects ! and i will never use them ahahaha

Idea of the metaverse comes from Snowcrash, which was a novel published in 1992, which was the first literary mention of a metaverse, and the first use of the word avatar in a novel to describe a character in virtual reality. The Metaverse in Snowcrash was created by a single corporation, and was built on top of network infrastructure built by the same corporation. Snowcrash was inspired by earlier cyberpunk fiction, such was that written by William Gibson, who was the first to use the terms "cyberspace" and "the matrix" to describe a virtual reality setting. Ready Player One simply ripped these ideas off.

All they need is a permanent lock down, and no in person socializing. Boom, instant dystopian nightmare.

@@mladenmladenovic3171 Unfortunately this is absolutely the only result of the current paradigm and trajectory of society.
I already have nieces who at 4-5 were using an iPad 24/7. Literally it was their books, their “schoolwork”, and their “recreational device”. They played games, streamed, and surfed from their parents device. This was almost 10 years ago now.
You could not possibly convince me that this generation has a single chance of rejection of the metaverse. Literally it is more satisfying, more functional, and more immersive than their actual lives, which essentially are spent mostly on social media and phones already.
It is no surprise at all that this will become the cafe, bar, restaurant, theater etc for everyone under a certain age. They already have made it illegal to gather with their friends or travel in the largest nations on earth. They legally cannot socialize.
How could this go any other way? With both lawmakers and police and technocrats all coming together to create their Orwellian brave new world. What other options do these people have when “work from home” is becoming legally mandatory, and you can get fined or arrested in some countries right now for going to a coffeshop, restaurant or bar?
Fall for... Brainwash... Everyone fears something new and most people distrust something new. Its in our genes to do so. However, lets not forget that the average intelligence of people worldwide has been steadily increasing year over year. We should put more faith in people to be informed about their decisions. It seems pretty reductive to use terms like fall for and brainwashed on a topic that is obviously more nuanced then that
@ ShihadMan bro you fell for it
I only spent 1 hour in our company's metaverse (no vr glasses, just my laptop screen) to attend a global meeting and I felt nauseous and a headache afterwards.

Hi! I recently bought oclus quest 2, but its battery time is 2 to 3 hour. How you manage that. Thank You.
I see that this is 2 years old. The Quest 3 was released recently. I'm using my Quest 2 more than I have this past year. I am enjoying Joanna's stories, from the past, about VR. I hope WJS and Joanna will revisit VR in 2024 and show people the latest features (apps (working in VR, travel, education) and entertainment) that VR goggles have to offer. Even watching her videos today, I learned a couple of things she covered about what I can do with my Quest 2 goggles.
How lifeless can this be! I don't want to be living in a virtual world when I have a real one, I really appreciate the real world more than ever now period!!!!!

The first videogame console also looks lame now. Wait 30 years or so and I bet most people will prefer to fake world
@@metroboonk5961 One day you won’t be able to tell the virtual world from the Real that’s what is scary
I believe we should be far more concerned with solving real-world problems than with creating a new virtual world that will lead to the emergence of new problems that are far more dangerous than we can imagine
Yeah... While some people are deciding if their ditial character should have pink eyebrows or no eyebrows at all, others are dying of hunger, poverty, lack of water, heat strokes...
Greed makes people blind.
I mean, sure, but it isn't the responsiblity of a VR company to save the world.
Very true statement bro. So many people suffer around the world, suffering which could easily be solved with all this extra money.
Tech like metaverse will weaken the focus of many young people who could acc make a difference in the world. Lot of potential may be lost . But there may be many benefits of this technology, it does seem very broad. Hard to tell at this point. I dont think it's all bad
@@GuiPurri so not only do I have my own problems to deal with, and playing games or any form of it helps me escape those problems and lets me relax but it's my job to also help those in need? I mean yeah it's awful what they have to go through but i don't have the money or time to help and the very little time I do have i want to spend it relaxing my state of mind. I also don't understand how companies that are in the gaming business, social media, or film business should help those in needs. You should be looking towards the government to do that. They literally waste trillions of dollars on nothing but yes companies are at fault for poverty lol
great, man-made horrors beyond my comprehension
How can people not see that this is a terrible idea? Humans escaping actual human interaction, locking themselves up in their rooms for days, and instead seek interaction with fake human avatars in a fake digital world? Somebody stop the planet please. I would like to get off here.
I don't think that's the idea here, the idea is alternative virtual meetings with virtual screens where others can work and interact together in a way which wouldn't be possible or easy otherwise. Besides this though, the resolution needs to be improved dramatically, including the technology itself to make gaming a more immersive reality. The technology is incredible in practice but still holds a large room for improvement, which consequently cannot replace console gaming or personal computer gaming in it's current state.
To follow up, nobody is playing this or using this for very long and if they are it's not to escape socializing or reality, that problem is not inherent of vr but anything that can be used too much and be of harm. Virtual reality sucks in my opinion for gaming but the practical use of it especially productivity with mixed reality is more of an interest to me.
It's like someone binged black mirror, ready player 1, 1984, blade runner, and didn't understand the message in any of them.
I recently went out for dinner, drinks, and a movie with a group of friends...in 'real life'.
Nothing will ever replace real interaction, VR is fun but only in short sessions, its gets old quick.
You will laugh at this comment 10 years from now
Yep
@@ma2i485 or he might laugh at ur reply 10 yrs From now?
This!
@@ma2i485 3 years.
VR is cool, I like it a lot, and meeting people through vr is also pretty fun but replacing our real lives with it is crossing the line
U not really meeting new people meeting face to face is meeting new people
@@ThedigitalArtChannel I don't think it will be too long for vr to let us use our own body abd face as a avatar 😂😂
@@ThedigitalArtChannel Why is that not real? Do you really need to see the face of your friends or work colleagues or their mouths while they'll eat, are they so beautiful? I get it that some people wish get some intimacy with their lovers, but whats the point for non lovers?
I'd really like to read why you think that way?
The people that you meet in the internet or VR are still real humans, the same unsympathetic or likeable people as in real life.
It's just discord + Facebook + Roblox
And boy it is ugly
It’s gonna depress a lot of people
Your neck is fine? ahahaha love the video. Idk about others, but I love VR. ofc it’s weird to be in it the whole day. But I think it’s normal playing for couple hours. What’s so different playing with phone/pc/etc?
This is the best thing ever, I've never been so determined to move to the woods and live away from technology.
This is utterly depressing, the world is beautiful, people should be exploring that... Crazy times
Frfr
The world doesn’t exclude the digital world. The world is full of possibilities. When you tell ppl what they SHOULD be doing, you’re taking that away from what exploration means
But if you explore the world you can't maintain ignorant opinions about people in other countries. How will we justify for profit wars without lies about foreigners that people actually believe?
You must be a communist who hates money! /s
How is it depressing?! You do realize there's tons of VR apps you can try.
@@jeremymason8081 you’re apart of the problem
Or you could actually really go outside, talk to people, see mountains, but....in real life. We already have what is perfect.
Sorry, world’s closed.
Nobody is forcing you to use the mets verse. normal internet will exist such as browsing. but this will just be the next generation of it. and this project won’t be estimated to be done in the next decade
@@joshuanyangulu1502 you are forced to use it (eventually) if everyone else starts using it. Imagine if work meetings only happen on meta verse (which they also aim for), wouldn't every one be forced to use it then?
@@joshuanyangulu1502 Just play Roblox if you want this without the VR.
@@siratkhalili709 the u can just take it off after work.

Thank you for sharing!!
Welcome to the Metaverse, a black hole for your time here on Earth; it's so real that time lost in the Metaverse is lost in your real life.
Underrated comment!
If you really think about it, it's not that much different. Majority of the people just don't do that much exciting stuff in real life. We get one or two memorable moments a month and the rest of the time is just either working, maybe drinking or killing time in front of tv, pc or phone. This technology can make your uneventful free time feel much more exciting.
It's just that you find your life boring because you never dare to try anything new .. y'all just stuck in the same thing and then later on get bored .. I know my opinion is so vague but yeah .. we all headed into this way anyways sooner or later maybe we'll just wearing glasses with all round lcd and make different realities that suit ourselves .. can be a good or bad thing but who knows what happens ..
Thats a good point. What you build in one world has no value in the other. You could find yourself worth half as much because of that
@@UhtredOfBamburgh what a great observation!
Mark - "You can do anything you want"
Yes it's called reality
Yep
Yeah but you can't do anything you want, it's called reality..😂❤️
Can you visit Andromeda?
Reality hurts though and you get old
You can't. There's direct consequences. Metaverse? Not so much.
I’ve had Oculus 2 for two years and I love it.
I think this could be enriching as long as it's used in moderation like for exercise or learning or vr travel.
It feels like we are getting closer and closer to a bleaker and loneleir future once the meta verse reaches full maturity
just wait until the metaverse becomes "self aware"
I was really lonely in real life but as soon as I got my oculus last year I finally feel like I have purpose. It allowed me to actually be able to pursue a TH-cam career. It’s giving me an opportunity to become a famous artist through nft. I can now play the games from all the way back when I was 5 years old such as midnight club and Mario kart, I can just lay down and hop on my headset and play call of duty. It’s allowing me to be able to change my life and have a purpose I’m going to stay weary of metas metaverse but the metaverse in general is very much not going to make you feel lonely, and I feel like if the person that made this video played vr chat and rec room her opinion would be different because that’s where everyone actually is. There’s games like gorrilla tag and gun raiders that makes this whole thing really feel like a metaverse you have every right to feel like this and to keep yourself safe I think it’s better that way but I would give it a chance.
Nah it would fail
Most people already hate it
@@bodhixxx1 bro u just scared me 😢
@@cooldudezeon4711 I highly doubt that considering how many headsets have sold on Christmas alone, it even outsold the new Xbox and is catching up to PlayStation they even got PlayStation players to abandon the ps vr and now nobody even suggest people to get the headset… probably because it’s kinda trash but you get the point. I don’t think you understand that meta has already won.
I feel sad for the people who would want something like this. We already have our faces buried in our phones the way it is.
Zuckerberg is a freak
You are extremely privileged to say that. Imagine being disabled, poor, not able to travel, VR metavese can provide entertainment to elderly with digital hikes, it can provide hospital bound people ways to communicate with loved ones....
Jeffery Rau yes true
@@jeffaeus2665 privileged? Come on man. Stretching a little there? I understand what you are saying and I get your point. Do you also understand mine?
Without faith its impossible to please God. Hebrews 11:6.
We have specific prayers to activate the Holy Spirit power for healing and fight corruption.

I don't want my eyes 1cm away from a TV screen that's strapped to my face, thank you very much.
Just the way he says "friends and family" has me convinced he is an alien and doesn't emotionally connect to what those words should mean.
a real person would usually just say something like: "loved ones" or something.
if im 80 and everyone is in the metaverse 16 hours a day i'll know how my grandparents felt about today's world.
It’s honestly terrifying to think about
@@theproblemmustbeinyourpant5910 its really not nobody cares about meta
This is even worst than using the phone,
@@Master_Chef most people definitley can't and shouldn't, but I've seen things
This is majorly dramatic lol
It looks fun for like a couple hours a day but more than that would cause so many issues
Basically, the metaverse is safe heaven for Hikikomories.
A prisoner living inside his own home, genius Mark...literally
crimes against humanity
It's business ;/
Actually, that could be one good use of this insanity. For prisoners that can't go outside, although I still prefer the norway model. Maybe that plus this for contact with the outside?
"I got lost in it, I lost track of time." Welcome to the new world. As much as technology is good in a lot of ways, prudence reminds us to use technology in moderation.
Hikokomori have been waiting for this their entire lives.
