The document discusses the metaverse, which is a virtual reality space where users can interact with a computer-generated environment and other users. It is envisioned as the next major computing platform that will evolve from the internet. The concept originated from a dystopian novel from the 1990s. While aspects exist now, the full vision is estimated to take 5-10 years to become mainstream. The metaverse could impact lives by allowing new forms of self-expression and social interaction but may also negatively impact mental health if overused. It presents new opportunities and jobs as well as privacy and security risks.

2. What is the
metaverse?
• Metaverse is a virtual-reality
space in which users can
interact with a computer-
generated environment and
other users.
• The internet will eventually evolve
into the metaverse,which will
come to represent the next major
computing platform.
• Combination of augmented,virtual
and mixed reality can be
metaverse.

3. What Is the Metaverse and Where Did the Concept
Come From?
• The term metaverse can be traced back to
Neal Stephenson and his dystopian
cyberpunk novel Snow Crash.which
describes a virtual reality dataspace called
the matrix.
• Like any place in Reality, the Street is subject
to development. Developers can build their
own small streets feeding off of the main
one. They can build buildings, parks, signs,
as well as things that do not exist in Reality.

4. When can we expect to
see it?
• Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of the newly named Meta
(formerly Facebook), estimates it could take five to 10 years
before the key features of the metaverse become
mainstream.
• Aspects of the metaverse currently exist. Ultra-fast
broadband speeds, virtual reality headsets and persistent
always-on online worlds are already up and running, even
though they may not be accessible to all.

5. Zuckerberg recently told tech podcaster Lex Fridman:“We’ve gone from desktop to
web to mobile; from text to photos to video. But this isn’t the end of the line,”.
“The next platform will be even more immersive—an
embodied internet where you’re in the experience, not just looking at it. We
call this the metaverse, and it will touch every product we build.”

• Express yourself through customizable avatars
• Socialize and make new friends
• Shop for real and virtual products
• Attend concerts, trade shows, and learning
events
• Get a job in the metaverse

7. Some Predictions for How the Metaverse Will Impact
Our Lives
• We will begin to express ourselves in new and exciting ways: Every person will have a
character that represents themselves in the Metaverse called an avatar. We will learn how to
express pieces of ourselves through these avatars in ways that we may not have been able to
test out before.
• Our mental health will be impacted: This could have both a positive and a negative impact
on our mental health as we are living in two worlds. As with any new technology, we will need
to be mindful about not disconnecting ourselves so much from our real life that it becomes
difficult to navigate them at the same time.

8. Pros of
Metaverse:
• Traveling the world without moving
• Increasing technological literacy and skills
• Connecting with new people without feeling
awkward
• Creating completely new job opportunities
Cons of Metaverse:
• Required of Advanced Digital Technologies
• Privacy and Security Implications
• Reducing the Difference between Real and Virtual

9. Today's metaverse: virtual reality as the “digital
escape”.Over the next few years the future
metaverse would be something very similar to
our real world in many aspects and even replace
some real-world activities (like working or
hanging out).
“A lot of people think that virtual reality is an
illusion, that it’s not real. But I say that it has
causal power, it exists outside of our mind, and is
not an illusion.”

on
• Metaverse is the future of internet
• It has its own advantages
and disadvantages

forward it
• Two realities will exist
