The Block sat down with Matt Ball, author of a new book: The Metaverse: And How it Will Revolutionize Everything.
is a metaverse. I would describe them as we do virtual or digital platforms, ecosystems and hardware today. We don't say the Google internet, we don't say the Facebook internet. They are parts of it, they connect to applications devices in it.
And so, this is where we get into the questions of property rights, the distribution of power and profits, the strength of the individual developer versus the platforms it depended upon. That's not a technical requirement. I would never conflate that with the metaverse at large, but that isn't to diminish its potential.I described earlier what makes up the internet; the internet today is primarily a 2D network.
The internet was text based — not even colored text. Then it did have text and it had identity in the form of message board usernames or email addresses. We slowly started to individually have space on the internet, in the form of a blog, but that blog was infrequently, asynchronously updated with limited visuals. Then we all had a presence through a profile; we started to express our lives there.
So certainly when we take a look at healthcare, infrastructure and education, we can see clearly how 3D does improve those fields.
