How do we feel as ordinary people after watching the short film? Is it a little contradictory, shocking and at the same time feeling natural...
The current society is an era of rapid development of digital information. People's attitude towards information acceptance is not as questioning (conservative) as it was in the 20th century and older periods, but more about absorbing (radical), so this mentality is also normal. But at the same time, we should stop and think! The development of human beings is more of a virtual development of digital networks, which is inward. The exploration of space has stagnated (outward). Is this also a serious involution? The involution of technological development or the involution of technical theory~~~
Let's read the full text with these questions, maybe you won't be entangled and confused! ! !
The short film expresses the vision of Meta (Facebook) or a part of the future scene that has been realized. Meta will spend about 10 billion U.S. dollars to develop the technology needed to build the Metaverse, I believe many people are yearning for it~~
On 2021/10/30, Facebook (Facebook) made a high-profile "face change" and announced that it would change the company name to Meta. The new name reflects Facebook's ambitions to expand beyond social media. While changing its name, its stock has not been spared. The stock name has been changed to MVRS on 12/01/2021.
It can be said that Facebook's full entry may be a turning point in the future~~

Facebook is considered to be the technology giant with the most aggressive layout in the metaverse at home and abroad, with an acquisition amount of US$3 billion.
As early as 2014, Facebook acquired the virtual reality company Oculus at a high price of 2 billion US dollars. Currently, one-fifth of the company's manpower is invested in the AR/VR business.
Since 2017, Facebook has supplemented its content sector by acquiring a series of well-known VR game developers such as Beat Games, Sanzaru Games, Ready At Dawn, Downpour Interactive, and BigBox, as well as film and television content production companies such as Blend Media. The establishment of the metaverse requires long-term and huge capital investment. Facebook expects total investment in Facebook Reality Labs to reach $10 billion in 2021, and will continue to grow in the next few years.
In addition to the above statistics, in China, first-line investment institutions such as Hillhouse Capital, Sequoia Capital, ZhenFund, Wuyuan Capital, Xianfeng Evergreen, Morningside Capital, and Xinghan Capital have all started the layout of the metaverse track. Enterprises involved range from virtual social platforms, virtual idols, to game companies, VR/AR projects, etc.

The metaverse can be simply understood as a virtual world parallel to the real world, and everything that people can do in reality can be realized in the metaverse. Metaverse will bring business model upgrades to a series of industries such as gaming, social networking, content, and consumption, which also means huge investment opportunities.
Zuckerberg said, "The metaverse will be a sense of presence, and being truly with another person is the ultimate social technology dream. That's why we're focused on building it."
In Facebook's vision, the "metaverse" is a materialized Internet where people can experience, not just look at it, where people can work, learn, play, shop, and create together in the metaverse. This is shown in the short video.
The concept of Metaverse comes from Neal Stephenson's book "Avalanche" (Snow Crash). Meta means "meta" and "beyond", and verse refers to the universe. The combined metaverse refers to a virtual world parallel to the real world supported by AR (augmented reality), VR (virtual reality) and other technologies."In the metaverse, you have your identity DID, your privacy, your assets, and your items! Isn't it amazing? Maybe you can watch the movie version of "Ready Player One" and "Runaway Player" and the anime version of "Sword Art Online"! However, these are all imaginations about the future, and it is still impossible to do it! But its value is undeniable. Traditional capital has entered the metaverse one after another. We can learn from these global"big mac
In the future, if your assets and your time are in this "metaverse" world, do you think the real world is reality, or the metaverse is reality? Therefore, the metaverse is not a fictional "big pie", and there will be many possibilities in the future.
State of the Metaverse
picture
The composition of the metaverse is complex, which contains all of the real world and those unknowns. Here are a few simple examples:
Identity: You have a virtual identity, whether related to your real one or not. Social: You have friends in the metaverse, you can socialize, whether you know them in reality or not. Immersion: You can immerse yourself in the Metaverse experience and ignore everything else. Low Latency: Everything in the Metaverse happens synchronously, with no asynchrony or latency. Diversification: Metaverse provides a variety of rich content, including gameplay, props, art materials, etc. Convenience: You can use any device to log in to Metaverse and immerse yourself in it anytime, anywhere. Economic System: Like any large game of complexity, the Metaverse should have its own economic system. Civilization: The Metaverse should be a virtual civilization.
Metaverse needs infrastructure, decentralization, human-computer interaction, spatial computing, developer ecology, improvement of discovery functions such as advertising and content distribution, and upgrades of gaming, social, video, shopping and other experiences. Therefore, the metaverse is a complicated "big project". The metaverse in an ideal state has not been fully realized until now, and it can only be said that it is moving towards this goal.
With the upsurge of the Meta universe, many people have also questioned:
Former Google CEO: Metaverse is not necessarily the best choice for the development of human society in reality. Metaverse will further amplify the existing problems of Internet addiction (health) and online differences (network public opinion, keyboard man) and other phenomena. , the world will become more digital rather than physical, which is not positive for human development. And who will make the rules of this world?
Ma Jie, vice president of Baidu: I can make a very realistic and irresponsible prediction about the Metaverse. The concept of the Metaverse is approaching the apex of excessive expectations. In the second half of next year or 2023, the Metaverse bubble will burst."Chinese science fiction writer Liu Cixin:"。
The metaverse will be an involution of the entire human civilization"What I agree with more here is the point of view represented by Luo Yonghao and Shaan Puri: the world we live in is in the stage of metaverse development, and the metaverse of Meta restricts the "metaverse". The real metaverse is actually not a certain space, but a certain point in time."As for the arrival of the metaverse, Shaan Puri believes that turning to the metaverse cannot be completed overnight, and it will take a long time for development, and eventually digitalization will enter people's lives. The emergence of the metaverse will be the starting point for a complete transformation of human society to digitalization, and mankind will eventually enter the era of the metaverse in an all-round way.

Metaverse is a digital world based on Web3.0, which liberates not only human entertainment time, but also greatly promotes "eco-efficiency". Greatly omitted a lot of unnecessary time. It's going to reshape the world, however with the Facebook (Meta) "Stud" metaverse, it's bound to be a turning point together. The series of chain reactions brought about are amazing, and the Metaverse is an ultimate dream ending.
Let us look forward to the arrival of the metaverse~~

Here I would like to share with you about the metaverse plate (encryption ecology) project~~
Decentraland(MANA)
picture
Decentraland is a distributed shared virtual platform built on Ethereum while helping others build state channels. Here, users can browse and discover content, and interact with other people and entities. Users can also claim ownership of virtual territories through a blockchain-based land ledger. The territory is delimited by Cartesian coordinates (X,Y), and its owner can decide the content published on the territory, including interactive systems ranging from static 3D scenes to games. Territories are non-fungible, transferable rare digital assets stored in Ethereum smart contracts and can be purchased with ERC-20 tokens called MANA. MANA can also be used to purchase digital goods and services in the virtual world.

The metaverse is not just the metaverse, let's be clear. What it contains is "Vientiane", so please don't miss the "nepotism effect" brought about by this outlet. There is nothing wrong with "value investing", but we also need to understand the "window investment" in the new era. After all, more and more people don’t understand today’s investment~~~"Are there still people wondering whether the development of the Metaverse is a good thing or a bad thing? In fact, you don't have to think too much, the development of things is not transferred by people's will after all. In the words of Shaan Puri:"。
