METAVERSE; a glimpse of the post-internet world and the road ahead.

Out of curiosity, a couple of weeks ago I asked on my Twitter account, that is it possible to design and program a robot, which can run a country, although I got no reaction still, it doesn't seem like an afar fetching journey. Recently, Mark Zuckerberg owned social media giant Facebook has decided to rebrand the company with a new name, hitherto the name is yet to reveal, but most probably the Facebook founder will rebrand the company with METAVERSE.

Decoding METAVERSE.

Before 1969, our world was unaware of the Internet, we had no idea and space for that. But, at this moment of time, we can not even imagine our life and day to day businesses without the internet. However, METAVERSE is often called the next extension of the internet it will be many steps ahead of the internet and the world created by this internet. Facebook, also plans to invest a massive amount and labour force in developing METAVERSE over the years. Moreover, if we look back into history we'll find the term METAVERSE was coined by Neal Stephenson in his novel Snow Crash in the year 1992, it is based on several fictions universe and also the answer to my curiosity thereon Twitter.

What are the implications and changes we can expect through this METAVERSE

The METAVERSE simply tends to create a world which is based on virtual reality, you will have nothing tangible like your currency, shopping, travelling, gaming, gossiping, learning and everything will be changed in virtual reality. Therefore, the role of private players, tech giants and such multibillionaires is going to perform at the Central podium at cornerstone, the upcoming society will be dystopian, where there will be no government, any central authority or holder, the control of the society will be turned into a blockchain a decentralised computing platform. The identity of persona will turn virtually and they can customise it as per their comfort and convenience, in case if, you ever used Snapchat, you have noticed that the app's AI simply take your image and create an avatar (graphical representation) of your selfie and subsequently, you can customise the style, clothing, even shoes and hairstyle as per your taste. However, we took that for granted and leisure, but the herald of the post-internet world will agitate the acceptance and perfect the imperfections. Earlier sapiens society necessitated knowledge of maximum aspects for survival viz. If you are a hunter that doesn't mean the chances of survival is in your favour, the survival was only favoured by those who can hunt, climb, also aware of some life-saving medicine and tactics with that he\ she can homogenise and with many other things associated with life and survival. However, the current society demands dexterity in any field, one should be firmed and the most knowledgable in a single field and that will pave the way for survival viz-a-viz you can easily transplant your kidney or can perform your blood work just by visiting in a hospital while on the contrary, you have zero knowledge of kidney and blood function, insomuch as and on-the-other-hand in upcoming days your system will trace the abnormalities in your body and will perform the transplant and blood work easily at your place, with zero possibility of negligence.

Will, it's all turn into reality or just a flight of fancy.

Hypothetically, many writers and CEOs have cemented their fascination over the response of Visual Reality to filming and gaming, and even why not, if it feels more approachable than the reality, they simply cut and take your stimuli out of any external response, and effect of the vicinity. Moreover, it's human nature of voluptuousness, the comfort of life is the first and last priority and we tend to change anything for the stake of comfort, this attitude will ultimately pave the way for this all the world of virtual reality or say METAVERSE. As so far we use video calls to communicate with the dear one's visually in 2D form but as of herald we can communicate in 3D reality, which means we can even feel them, we can sense them virtually. Meanwhile, covid shuts have also acted catalysts in the run and paved the way further along.

Responses of global leaders and powerful states

However, it is no secret that the government and politicians are not going to support a decentralised system with no trace of authority and control, nobody wants to be jobless. The finest example of the contemporary dynamic dimension is Digital Currency, with few exclusions of peculiarity, states tend to stop the propel and vogue, even some few states also codified some laws to tackle the challenge of digital currency and its mining. All-embracing, albeit of obstacles and obstructions the change will ultimately prevail and will contrive.
