The Metaverse is less of a place than a point in time, according to Mark.
The CEO of Facebook gave an interesting response to a question about the potential for a metaverse during a new interview.
A lot of people think that the Metaverse is about a place, but one definition is that it is about a time when digital worlds are the primary way that we live our lives.
Is it really true that we should give up on reality and welcome virtual reality overlords inside a Facebook-controlled dystopia? His answer seems to suggest that.
Early users of Metaverse have reported cases of sexual harassment, among other issues, as the virtual reality playground filled with legless avatars has come under increasing scrutiny.
The company's troubles were compounded by the news that Facebook's user base had begun to shrink for the first time in the company's history.
The Metaverse is still a lackluster experience in its current form, despite the billions of dollars that have been poured into it.
In his predictions of a future in which we live more inside a virtual reality than in real life, he isn't the only one.
Melanie Subin, director of the Future Today Institute consulting firm, told The New York Post in January that a large proportion of people will be in the metaverse by 2030.
That is not a good thing to Subin.
In a few years, if his predictions start to come true, it might not be so funny.
