Metaverse is coming! There’s no denying or escaping it. Embrace it!
Humans are naturally inclined to imagine situations & worlds that may seem hard or impossible. However, reality sets in and blows away our dream world for most of us. But Metaverse promises an opportunity to everyone to build & experience their dream world and keep getting better at it. This is the biggest draw for Metaverse.
Combine this desire of humans with economic sustainability with good models, and there’s one massive industry that can change the world how we know it.
Many things will change in this decade with the advent of the Metaverse, and some interesting ones could be:
- First-generation of Metaverse, as we are seeing, will be experienced through the VR headsets. Soon, technology will advance enough to read the brain signals to control what we do in the Metaverse and directly provide feedback to the brain, bypassing the senses.
- Identity & location anonymity/security of people will become critical as people express themselves openly in the Metaverse. Also, as assets get built in the Metaverse, there will be an exponential demand for security to protect the assets.
- The birth rate will trend downwards.
- Energy consumption will increase. However, the variety of resource consumption will decrease.
