I am going to ask you a question that someone probably has already asked you or even you have asked yourself over the last few months: What do you know about the metaverse?
If you answer it without having to think too much and are pretty sure about what it is and all of its features, congratulations! You are probably not in the group of 60% of respondents in a recent Axios survey that answered not being familiar with the C Level Executive Email Lists idea of metaverse. Experts are also unsure what the metaverse is about.
The former Google CEO Eric Schmidt stated that he doesn’t know what the metaverse really is and its implications in the real world. In a talk at the Aspen Ideas Festival in Aspen, Colorado, he stated that “there isn’t an agreement on what the metaverse is,” at least for now.
Also according to the Axios survey, only 7% of the respondents answered that they feel excited about interacting with other people and brands in the virtual world, like playing games, attending events, traveling, shopping and creating their own world.
Metaverse: an undefined concept
Taking into account the amount of possibilities mentioned and the buzz created specially by Facebook (rebranded into Meta in October 2021), shouldn’t more tech lovers be excited about the new world that everyone is able to experience in the present times?
That is another tough question. The metaverse is seen as a revolution in the digital world and brands, such as Coca-Cola, Gucci, Disney and J.P. Morgan, have been investing millions (or billions) to surf on the wave of virtual reality. In January, Microsoft announced their plans to acquire the gaming company Activision Blizzard, hoping that their expertise would “provide building blocks for the metaverse”.
