The metaverse. What was once a sci-fi film plot is now a near reality thanks to Meta’s (The Company Formerly known as Facebook Inc) announcement on how they’re bringing the metaverse - think virtual reality as a way of life instead of just a video game - to our everyday lives. Even if you might not fully understand it (as we sure don’t), we need to have this conversation because it affects us all. Is the metaverse ethical? Will it actually improve our lives, or will it drive us away from each other? Why do humans insist on building their own kingdoms? We discuss all of these questions and more on today’s episode! Thanks for joining us for another week of our series on the WORLD WIDE WEB! We’re peeling back the layers of the internet and technology to find out what really is happening online, how it affects us and what we can do about it. Watch Facebook’s (uh, Meta’s?) keynote on the future of the metaverse here:
