"According to Mark Zuckerberg, the “metaverse” – which the Meta founder
describes as “an embodied internet, where instead of just viewing content – you
are in it” – will radically change our lives.
So far, Meta’s main metaverse product is a virtual reality playground called
Horizon Worlds. When Zuckerberg announced his company’s metaverse push in
October 2021, the prevailing sentiment was that it was something nobody had
asked for, nor particularly wanted.
Many of us wondered what people would actually do in this new online realm.
Last week, amid announcements of new hardware, software, and business deals,
Zuckerberg presented an answer: the thing people will do in the metaverse is
work.
But who is this for? What are the implications of using these new technologies
in the workplace? And will it all be as rosy as Meta promises?"
