The metaverse: marvellous or madness?
The latest news reports about the metaverse say that it has huge potential to change how people use technology. From playing games, shopping and socialising with friends, to making medical advances and developing technology – the possibilities seem to be endless.
However, in a virtual space that operates in the same way the real world does, the dangers and pitfalls are also very real.
This made us curious about a very important question:
Before you comment, try to consider both sides of the argument:
Who might think the metaverse will change the world for the better? For example, because of opportunities, technological advancement or pleasure.
And who might think that it’s a bad thing? For example, because of dangers, costs or new behaviours.
Don’t forget to read other students’ responses and let them know what you think!

I'm really excited to see how the metaverse will increase our ability to socialise with people from around the world. Imagine having more global friends? You could have connections far beyond your regular circle, which will be better for increasing mobility in the future for everyone around the world. It will also make for a more interesting life, as you would hear from people who are from a completely different place to where you are from.
Metaverse can also be of disadvantage. This is because the more "global friends" you have, the more one is prone to cyberbullying, so it cannot be of total advantage
I agree totally with this but weighing the advantages and disadvantages of this is important. We should put in consideration the cost and it's present availability.
Metaverse can be disadvantage.The high degree of freedom which is an advantage of metaverse makes metaverse users more dangerous than users of excisting on line services&games.
I agree with this because it is important to make sure that there are a higher amount of pros than cons in this situation. A high amount of friends is more of a con because more of them have a chance of bullying or making fun of another. For that reason, I agree heavily.
What you say is true to one extent, but 'global friend' means we are getting friends out of our school, society, country and even the continent. We can get to know their culture, heritage and life style. If youvstill think that they are unsafe you can ask your real life friends to join metaverse in the same platform where you are.
It may be that what is prohibited in reality is permissible within the virtual world, and its act does not expose its owner to question by society because it is problematic, and from here psychological barriers with vice are broken by default, so that it becomes easy to apply in reality!
I agree because we have to dwell on developing the world . If you spend money on the metaverse and you were poor, you will think you are rich in the metaverse yet in real life you will remain poor. And so we need to use the available resources to meet our needs.
I am also excited about the metaverse. I can not wait to see how it help improve our socialisation with others around the world.
Please don’t forget that metaverse although improve our socialisation with other it decreases or erase our social communication in the same family with their members
Thanks for your comment grateful_clam
As we're becoming more connected globally, it's great that we speak to more people from walks of life we couldn't previously.
But as some of the comments below suggest, it also opens up risks, like bullying; what kind of measures do you think we need to keep people safe in the metaverse? Who do you think is responsible for making sure it's a good space for those who use it?
We can ensure safety in the metaverse if we
1. Identify all vulnerabilities that could exist.
2. Develop metaverse terms and conditions.
3. Moderate your organization's metaverse.
4. Create a metaverse security and privacy policy.
And as of keeping the metaverse safe Facebook announced a USD 50 million funds called the XR Programs and Research Fund to help develop a responsible metaverse.
I agree with you, my friend. You found all the weaknesses of the Metavirus and fixed them.
I agree with you, the Internet is known to be a cruel place, and strangers tend to be cruel and unacceptable to people's differences. Malicious behavior towards others can be found all over the internet, be it on social media or in games.
Despite numerous campaigns to prevent or reduce these behaviors. Using the internet in a 3D setting and allowing users to feel completely immersed in the metaverse will give these bad guys more power. This leads to greater chances of attacking others and may make victims more vulnerable and less protected. Where there is no longer a screen to look away from.
Bullying, harassment and personal attacks on anyone will inevitably be one of the downsides of the Metaverse. Unfortunately, there is not much that can be done to combat it.
Yes, I agree with you. The bullied person will feel safe behind the screen, as he will not be subjected to punishment or imprisonment. He often has a false name and picture, and they are not real. If they are stopped, he can create hundreds of others, and this is what encourages him, although the matter is very painful. There are people who may die because of it. These text messages, which may seem short, but they cause great pain for their future, and do not forget that if the matter is repeated and from a group, it may destroy you emotionally and psychologically, and for this reason, cybersecurity work (electronic security) must be encouraged, and any electronic bully should be exposed to legal issues.
I disagree because when one wants to explore some things like volcanic eruption, can use the metaverse to access the place easily and will be able to give the feedback to the organisation which will earn he/she income.
So for this reason if they do not develop the metaverse, they will not be able to provide basic needs.,
I think that to keep people safe on the metaverse, there should be privacy policies,and the users should be able to block and report anything or anyone they think is a threat.
You're absolutely right - but who decides who or what is a "threat"? Different people might believe different things need to be controlled, and in different ways.
I think that the users should be able to determine what they think is a threat and they should be able to report or block them.
Bullying is a really bad thing, whether it is electronic or real, but the unfortunate truth is that we will not be able to get rid of the bully at all. Whenever we go to one type of bullying to eliminate it, ten other types appear instead. So we have to try to have a solid, strong and confident personality, not a fragile personality. Weak so that we can live while we are well, but this does not mean keeping silent about the bullies, so reports must be submitted about them, and those responsible for the Metaverse must develop security and prevent anyone from creating more than one account so that they do not return to bullying if their account is reported and suspended
True talk, but if all people direct their attention and attention to the Metaverse, they may forget about the world and society around them, and they may become addicted to it with time.
Getting addicted to something is on our hands, if we have will power and self control to our habits we use them effectively without getting addicted and to prevent that we have to frame effective rules to use metaverse based the age criteria.For instance you could set timings to use metaverse platform everyday which will prevent you from getting addicted
"you need self control in an out-of-control world"
Metaverse is something like another world .
We must be self-controlled in all things, otherwise it will be destroyed, so self-control is very important for life.
How might people show self control in the metaverse, valuable_tamarind? How does this quote link?
I agree because the metaverse is developed by people who use their money to start it so if they do not control the metaverse and the people misbehave, they will lose their business and many people will lose jobs hence causing a lot of problems for example domestic violence and misunderstanding between countries .And why don' t the people who develop the metaverse make their own people to live there forever and not disturbing the people of the real world and confusing there mind with untrue things,making them to admire what they cannot afford.
Your point interests me, what if the game has built in shutdown times when you are supposed to take care of yourself
Although I agree with you the metaverse is available to everyone and anyone so it could be anyone behind the avatar or the screen and the friends that you meet in the metaverse could end up hurting your feelings with cyberbullying.
I agree with you because we are all excited, but do you think that unknown global friends do not pose a threat to the individual, because no matter how the situation changes, they will remain strangers
I agree because... Why? I think diligent_donkey has a good point here because I have been just communicating with the people in my locality but now I have many friends all over the planet due to this global chats, and it has enabled me to improve on my computing skills.
This is beautiful, but excessive openness on social media can be more negative than positive, and getting to know friends from around the world is wonderful in the full sense of the word, but these friends can be bad or deceitful ... This is just an opinion, nothing more 😁
I agree because... some friends are spies in your life . Take for instance you are the president of your country and you have friends from oppositions ,do you think the friends you really have are honest friends? Maybe you can't afford joining the metaverse and your friend can and you get some misunderstanding within you ,don't you think your friend can do anything destructive to you? So always make friends with a lot of care.
I'm not sure about this because... I agree with you and for whom, if they are bad friends, and also for the virtual world, the person has many negatives...
I agree because with using metaverse,we can get to know different cultures from different people all over the worldand that's great.Often , your real friends these days affect you badly, encourage you to do wrong actions,so global friends are the best choice.
Do you think there are ways to have positive friendships inside and outside of the metaverse?
Yes, I think there are ways to have positive friendships inside and outside of the metaverse by having self control, having respect but the best way is to set up laws.
Can you develop further and explain what laws you think could be set up for the metaverse world?
Yes, I think there are a lot of ways to have positive friendships inside and outside the metaverse, we could do this by maintaining respect and respectful boundaries, we could also be kind and respect the views and opinions of our friends.
i agree because i play vr and its like a new world
Thank you for your comment but although they increase our ability to socialise with people all over the world but it also has the negative impacts in them like people in metaverse introduce the immoral behaviour that are not good for the people of the real world
I also agree as it will be very interesting to see how it turns out. Also i am already really exited to have my own pet dragon! I already named it as well!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 💗
I agree because... while in the metaverse, you meet people of different kinds .Both good and bad alike. This will help us to socialize with people and understand their different behaviors.This therefore means that we should also concentrate on the development of the metaverse . But also take care when associating with some of this people because not all that gliters is gold.
The meta virus is really strange, and like anything new and strange, it has many positives and many negatives, and we cannot judge it if it is useful or not, except after comparing it. We start with the positives:
1- Facilitating social communication and communication with relatives and friends who live far away.
2- Those who were born with congenital deformities will be able to overcome the matter, as he will not be subjected to bullying, as well as people with disabilities, as they will be able to carry out normal tasks within the metaverse.
3- Facilitating the transfer and development of information and knowledge.
4- Facilitating scientific and chemical experiments. There are many more, but I have summarized the most important ones for me.
The negatives:
1- Lack of real and tangible communication
2- Facilitating deception of others through fake accounts and fake avatars
3- It will be very easy to steal information and money.
4- Many people will become distrustful of their outward appearance or their protective personality because of what they are pretending to be behind the Avatar on the Metaverse.
In the end, I think that the Metaverse is not so bad that it is good, but if we use it poorly and do not overdo it in dealing with it
I agree with what your saying because the Metaverse can allow for a lot of good things like with medical advancements, but it can turn bad when people spend too much time and get too immersed inside of the metaverse.
As you say metavers is not good and its not bad but the peple can make it bad when they spend alot of time on it its can be good When used regularly and regularly, it can improve medicine, medicine, education, art and culture, and it can change perspectives in many ways.
You are right but some people like in my country will not be able to afford metaverse so they will not be able to enjoy these good things in the metaverse.
I agree because it may be expensive for others as they might not have enough money so they wont be able to enjoy the metaverse
I liked point 2 in the positives, as it drew my attention to something that I was unaware of, and I also think that it is one of the positives of Metaverse that we will not leave people we love and care about, such as the mother or father of relatives or friends, because there is a copy of it in the virtual world, and it is possible through artificial intelligence to We make there a copy similar to it in the virtual world, so we do not feel longing and sadness and find their warm embrace there, but if the same idea is used, but during a person’s life, it will become a disaster and identity theft, so we must encourage verification of correct information and not stolen
It is true that it will be disastrous if there are two of a person and his relatives, then they will not differentiate between them, so then the virtual version steals the life of the real person, his relatives and his family, and we do not forget that he can offend one of your relatives or friends, so you lose your relationship with him even if you love him deeply and He may sign contracts that will lead you to death, or even reject contracts that would have made your life very high
Yes, it is dangerous that there is a copy of you, and since you mentioned this matter, I would like to note that it exists even in our reality and on social networking sites, but it is called impersonation, and it is about stealing life from a person, as it is based on denying him and living his life instead of him And this destroys man completely, and this is a crime punishable by law, so we have to be punished for it even in the metaverse
The metaverse is a very exciting technological advancement although it has some downfalls. Yes, you can meet thousands of people globally, but safety is a real concern. Will there be virtual police? Who leads the metaverse? Another issue is cyberbullying. Cyberbullying is a serious issue even in the real world so what will it be like in the metaverse? People could pretend to be others and trick you into believing the wrong things.
So in my opinion, the metaverse is a really good thing but safety measures need to be added for the well-being of the people using it.
Some fantastic ideas here! Can you suggest one idea for the safety measures you mentioned and go into a little more detail about how this might work? For example, who would be in charge of it?
Thank you!
I think that just as there are police in the real world, they could be enforced in the metaverse so as to bring about some form of safety for the users. There should also be punishmets put in place for any offenders. As for the person in charge of it, there should be someone (perhaps the creator of the metaverse) that is willing to make the decisions in the metaverse.
Some great ideas here - This is very like moderators or administrators in many preexisting online communities.
Do you think that the creator of the metaverse should be the main person making those decisions, or is there a more democratic alternative you think might work?
Talking about punishment, I think that any person who is offending the rules set should be prohibited from using metaverse platform for ever depending upon their intensity of offence, the duration could be changed. When we have strict laws the people will use the platform effectively
I agree because... One of the most important parts of any online platform is its users, and that will continue to be the case within Metaverse. Protecting users should be paramount in this virtual world, just as it should be in the real world. This protection can come in a variety of forms, but providing users with appropriate levels of privacy and security should be at the top of the list. Furthermore, users should be able to report if another user has acted inappropriately towards them or if something has happened. another that disturbs or worries them. Allowing users to file complaints in this way can also help Metaverse improve its security features.
Yes you are right. We meet thousands of people globally, yet we are not sure if they are good or bad people. Because of corruption and insecure environment and safety reason, I think we should be very careful in the viture world. To prevent any danger, there should be laws and deterrents.
You are right because we can get friends thinking that they are good and yet in actual sense they are bad and they might end up leading us to danger for example death,stealing.So if we go to the metaverse, we should be careful with the friends we are to get.
I agree with you totally about safety. But where are the rules and ethics that govern the use of these new world, who would bring them up and who should be in charge of these virtue world? Just like in the real world people will experience the good and bad behaviors of others. So if in the real world there are rules and ethics that govern people behaviors there should also be rules that govern people behaviors in the virtue world? There should be a limit to where people go, do and meet. Now the question is who should be in charge of this new and mysterious world.
Now look at it this way, A metaverse can be seen a composite of all universe(s) meaning the convergence of physical reality.
On the issue of who will be in charge, those who are involved in the metaverse world will and can control themselves. They are humans who are created with great intellect, self control and sense of reasoning. So the issue of who will be in charge, they can run the metaverse for a period time and then observe those who have been contributing to it positively, when this is done it is then easier to choose who will generally oversee the metaverse whether through election, appointment and any other way as long as it will be peaceful. Previously,
Someone mentioned something about cyber bullying, now when those leaders are appointed anyone who is then found guilty of such unwelcome, unacceptable, unpleasant, disagreeable behaviour should be evacuated from the metaverse if the offence committed deserves such heavy punishment if not he or she should be warned.
In my opinion, yes metaverse can be a good thing and adding some safety features to track misuse of it and user abuse will go a long way in checking abuse. So I will like to know what security features or policies could be put in place to check mate crimes that could be perpetrated in the metaverse world?
Well,i think that some of the features that could be put in place to checkmate crime in the metaverse world are the use of encryption and also constantly updating software security protocols.
Yes , metaverse are being developed by thousands of interested people , and as it is a double - edged sword, its positives and negatives evolve with its development and I agree with you in terms of setting a law for it that regulates and presides over it
Can you extend your point further by explaining how the metaverse is being developed and how this will impact upon others and their lives?
Two technologies considered important to the development and growth of the metaverse are virtual reality and augmented reality: Virtual reality is a simulated 3D environment that enables users to interact with a virtual surrounding in a way that approximates reality as perceived through our senses.
AR enriches our real-world environment by adding digital elements to it, whereas VR creates an entirely digital world for us to explore. These technologies have diverse applications, ranging from enriching shopping experiences to providing more engaging entertainment and education experiences.
I agree because...
I agree because both technologies are considered as important as each others and you have explained clearly and concisely how these support its users.
I agree that metaverse can be very exciting because for example we as students, teachers, schools all over the world joined to Topical Talk Festival 2023 and shared our opinions and discussions about the topics offered for disscussion, and this can be useful and intersting to know how others think about different topics,and give us informations about these topics.
For the safty measuers, in this site
*I think the creators of it and the experts put rules to be followed before each comment, and if it's not suitable they will refuse it.
*also they accept the subscribers and give them accounts with anick name not a real namefir more safty.
*also they put atopic of how to stay safe when using student hub.
Thank you to those in charge of the site from the heart for their efforts and for this special site.
Well, I think the Metaverse will be a wrong decision and a bad thing to the world because it will cause a borderline between the virtual and the real world, this will make individuals to be addicted to the virtual world they will spend most of their time in the virtual , unrealistic world in which everything is not real. And this could make it difficult for them to distinguish between the real and the digital world , the Metaverse is more risky because there is no law governing it from the real world . This will encourage the access of hackers into the users private information, there will be different forms of exploitation and cyber Bullying. And it will also be of disadvantage to some poor countries that can’t afford it because it is expensive .
You say that the metaverse is "risky because there is no law governing it from the real world". What laws do you think there should be? And who should be in charge of these laws?
Well, from my opinion I think there should be limitations , I feel like there should be limited time for the usage , in this way the users have certain time limits to access the Metaverse . With this, it will control the user’s usage and it will prevent addiction and also, the user will not be too frequent and will have time to perform daily life activities in real life this way the user will not find it difficult to distinguish between the virtual and the real world.This will also help reduce the risk of exploitation or cyber bullying by hackers because the user is not frequently in the Metaverse so the hackers will find it difficult to obtain a user’s private information .
Honestly I don’t think there should be someone in charge of the law it should be programmed by the creator to ensure that the Metaverse doesn’t affect the safety and life of the user .
Thanks for replying, reserved_wolf! You said that you think the law should be programmed by the creators of the metaverse. So, if more people use the metaverse than are in a single country, would this make the creators of the metaverse more powerful than the leaders of real countries?
In this case , I think it depends on how people decides to use the Metaverse, if they deserve to use it in a way that they they minimize and limit the usage whereby it doesn’t interfere with their real life and they spend enough time in real world than virtual world in this case the leaders of their countries are superior.
But in a case whereby the users use it frequently and they are often in the Metaverse than the real world they will use it respectively to how it was programmed and they will also move with it flow in this case the creators are superior because the users are following the instructions they programmed.
I see that the real world will be destroyed and devastated, and companies, schools and hospitals will not continue their work.
I see the solution to people leaving the virtual world.
1- For the state to take measures to set a specific limit and control by the state to set a specific limit to spend time in it.
2- Spreading alternatives to luxury in the real world.
3- Conducting competitions, seminars, meetings and celebrations in the real world that distract people from the virtual world.
4- Educating people about its harm if it exceeds its limit, and educating them that they must build this world to make it better without the need for a virtual world.
Hi ,From my point of view, there must be a law governing the Metaverse to preserve safety, security, and the virtual world from destruction.
Such as a legal action regarding the exploitation of private intellectual property rights in the virtual world.
And prevent any electronic theft of information or any bullying or assault
I agree with you reserved_wolf because everything you are saying is true. If the graphics in the metaverse are the same as the real world this could make many not be able to distinguish real from fake. Which could ultimately attach them to their life in the metaverse. Also without proper governing this could really open up into identity theft, online harassment, and cyber bullying. I agree with the your statement about developing countries not being able to afford VR headsets and all other necessities to go into the metaverse because without the proper money to even buy the things needed to go into the metaverse.
I agree with your comment fully, because it is very important to make sure that people don't lose themselves whilst partaking in the metaverse by becoming addicted.
The metaverse is a marvelous technology advancement but my concern is what will happen if everyone in the world enters the metaverse and never comes back . Who will be taking care of the farms, shops, schools, big industries etc ? So will all the labor and hard work of people put on this world go to waste? That’s why I think it is of disadvantage.
Could people survive if people in the real world stopped working? What could be done to stop people from not wanting to leave their lives in the metaverse?
Hi I have also been thinking of what you said indeed metaverse has advantages and disadvantages because in some point of view it has made life easier . But the disadvantages not good.
I agree with your fascinating comment because I believe the same! It is possible that workers and other humans are able to become addicted and not be able to leave, which puts jobs, companies, and even themselves at risk.
I don't think many people believe in the metaverse, it may pose dangers to many people such as addiction problems, virtual bullying. and others She was one of the relatives of the most used people, I think.. She stayed away from her work for a period of time about 3 months because of the metaverse, but after I watched her do that, I did not stop because I saw that it might pose a danger to her.. So I used a site that showed me the most important risks The incident on this metaverse .. She was not convinced at first, but I tried to convince her more than once that it poses a threat to her and her practical, psychological and social life I saw her that it was mixed on the metaverse, so I did not deprive her of it... and advised her to use it in certain periods and reasons.. and the metaverse is very useful for humans.. but humans do not know how to use this program.. so they need follow-up and instructions for that user of the metaverse
Introducing metaverse to the world will be a great achievement because it will give one the opportunity to visit places out of this world. It will be easy to travel to space , see all the possible creations that live under the ocean and seas. Touring around the world and universe will be made easy and faster.
On the other hand, I think that pretty insane the metaverse in the future will be. The grass always looks greener. The typical person in future decades might have to deal with environmental, political, financial, and social issues the we don't. But if uninterrupted, this type of technology and its problems will become incomprehensively more advanced with each generation of people.
That's a balanced perspective on where some of the problems might lie with the metaverse - It's important to look at all possible consequences, good and bad, before implementing big changes.
What problems do you think adopting the metaverse could cause, and how would you prevent them?
Indeed but don't you think of the disadvantages. Here are some of the disadvantages I know. 1 : higher equipment cost. 2 : potential for bullying, harassment.
3 : more reason for addictive behavior .
I agree with you, but Metaverse can be disadvantage. As the metaverse blurs the line between reality and virtual reality, there could be ethical concerns around issues such as virtual theft, virtual violence, and virtual identity.
The negatives and positives of Metaverse are fighting in my mind, but I feel that its positives are more than negatives. However, we must be careful of its dangers. Well, Metaverse is not just a virtual world that people use it to play through cartoon characters, they also use it for sports, study and important meetings, and we can't forget its helped in developing and supporting distance education when Covid-19 virus spread,I think it's marvellous not madness, because it is the coming future that will solve many problems all over the world.
I think one of the safety measures that can be put in the metaverse is in user identification. Metaverse should not allow people put in their real name. The names given should only be known by the user and the person he/she is chatting with. This will go a long way in reducing discrimination and privacy issues.
Another problem I want to Identify is addiction. I agree that metaverse has so may advantages which might outweigh its disadvantages but then sinking into a world in which we can make new friends, buy products and live new lives can have dangers of overuse. While might be difficult to stop someone from using metaverse, I feel it should have some warnings or suggestions to notify users when too much time is spent on metaverse.
It's a nice way for someone to put another name for themselves, but there are people who want to become famous, they say their real name, for example, a doctor gives advice to viewers, he will say his name for sure, also he wants a psychologist or an astronomer to give advice. His name must be mentioned in order for it to spread among people and to use a beautiful fake name, but not for all people.
For the addictive, I suggest that the Metaverse set a time for everyone who is using the Metaverse right now. When I open the Internet, you will send me a banner with you for 2 hours, and then the Internet will be automatically closed. I think this is the right solution and give time according to each person. There are people who want to learn, give them more time, and there are people who want to be entertained, and give them less tim
In my opinion the metaverse is marvelous because, in the medical field, the new world could be of help to both physicians and patients. Going virtual can also help doctors assist people far away and improve their accessibility .and the metaverse could create better ways to communicate with those who are far away.one can be able to travel to outer space and go around the world much easier and of less cost than in the real world.the Metaverse could grow in to something that changes life everywhere.
How else might the metaverse help to improve accessibility for people? I wonder what other good ideas you have?
I think that remote learning has become more popular in recent years, but the Metaverse can take it to the next level. Immersive technologies like VR can give disabled people access to higher education, delivered engagingly without physical attendance.
By using metaverse , disable people can also have the same experiences as everyone else without having to worry about barriers that come come with physical disabilities.
The metaverse can help to improve accessibility for people by increasing visual contrast and sound of volume. It can also access service remotely such as sign language interpretation. The metaverse can provide opportunities for people with disabilities to explore the environments and offer tools that support better experiences , such as immersive learning.
It can be helpful in the medical field but metaverse will not be as efficient as meeting the doctor physically. Imagine in an emergency and then there is a problem with the the connection to the server. I still think we should not completely immerse ourselves with the metaverse but it should just be like an auxiliary means to help patients.
This got me thinking! If the metaverse can be used for medical emergencies, like you mentioned, does this mean we should invest lots of money into it to make sure there aren't things like server errors? Or do you think something different?
Amazing! I want to add something to your comment ... Imagine medical students practicing surgeries in virtual reality or history students exploring ancient civilizations through interactive simulations. The possibilities are endless.
hello
Thinking about it, Metaverse is a double-edged sword, but from my point of view, this depends on the user himself, as the negative side is when one does not organize his time and becomes addicted, then one will not be able to perform his basic duties in his real world, so his reality mixes with the virtual world. However, the positive side lies in facilitating learning for children and developing their creativity and the creativity of the rest of the youth. It also enters the field of making documentaries. It has also entered into shopping and real estate as well, and many, many other benefits. So I hope that people use Metaverse in the right way that benefits them and their society. At the end, could you please give us some tips we should follow to avoid addiction and one more thing, do you think it is normal for metaverse to be available for different age groups?
I think technology and metaverse don't make better documentaries or news honest but I think unbiased people make better news.
There's some really interesting thoughts here, but to pick up on your last question - Should the metaverse be available for different age groups? - it'd be good to know what you think.
What about making different things within the metaverse available to different age groups? What might that look like, and who do you think should decide what is appropriate for each group?
In my opinion, it is nice that the Metaverse is available to all age groups. As for those who are under the legal age, they should be under the guidance and guidance of parents to develop the creativity of their children, and why not??!
In my opinion, it should be available to all age groups with control within the metaverse, but those under the age of 16 will have a community as a mini-application for them that prevents them from doing bad things or talking to suspicious people, and even allows them to get to know people from around the world of the same age or generation who have similar interests, this thing stimulates the formation of relationships, especially for adolescents who at this age need people close to them and beautiful friendships
As for children between the ages of 12 and under, awareness programs for them and funny children's programs should be beautiful meaningful, regardless of whether the parents are busy or not, their children will be in a protected circle
And I think that the metaverse will be like a treatment for mental illnesses such as autism and others, for example, children with this disease have a general phobia of the world and people, so it would be good to create an environment for a child with autism that suits what he likes or dislikes, and it will be an environment full of people who have the same disease to get to know each other, but after that environment there will be stages, that is, after talking to children like them, it would be great to gradually get out of this circle and get to know children who are not affected, this is This will motivate them to make beautiful friendships
I liked your comment
I changed my mind.
I totally agree with you.
I used to think that the negatives of Metaverse are more than its positives. On the contrary,
I found that after reading your comment, the Metaverse is an opportunity and an interactive environment that contributes in various fields time it.
And using it in some cases and matters and not paying attention to it and neglecting reality.
That is, we must control it without it controlling us.
And know how to deal with it.
Allocating time for the family and spending time mixing with the external environment without affecting us and causing isolation.
Metaverse: Cool or Crazy? In my opinion, it is a wonderful thing because it develops human thought and takes it into the realm of fantasy. I expect that the future will depend on it greatly, because of its many benefits, including that it will provide new job opportunities, and there will be many fields that depend on it, such as education, and some will take it as a means of entertainment and entertainment, so I think it is a wonderful thing
I agree because... But I believe that the more technology develops, life loses its pleasure and meaning, and man loses his role in this world. There is nothing more beautiful than simple life, just as weapons develop and greed and greed abound in other countries, especially the great powers. The real development is the development of man and his upbringing of a new generation endowed with virtuous morals.
●The metaverse can be a powerful tool for maintaining emotional connections with family and friends who are physically distant.One way that the metaverse can help maintain emotional connections is through the use of virtual environments. For example, a family may use the metaverse to create a virtual version of their family home or a favorite vacation spot. By interacting in this virtual environment, family members can feel a sense of familiarity and emotional connection to one another, even if they are physically far apart.In addition, the metaverse can offer opportunities for personal growth and development as people challenge themselves in new and exciting ways. It gives you new business opportunities. enables humans to go where they were never able to go before, including outer space. It will be a new and life-altering experience for people with disabilities.The metaverse could be an equalizer, giving people access to existing experiences that were shut off to them for reasons such as cost, distance
●And on the other side for every positive there is a negative. So metaverse can lead to addiction, can cause psychological risks, makes it easier to believe in false information, loss of interest in social activities.
Both depends on our perspective!
I already discussed some important points but don't you think what I said about family ties can be negative if you don't say we can meet them in reality why is everything supposed to be done through the metaverse and this is called control human minds over time nothing stays Be that as it may, if this person refuses to do family gatherings, each of them will see that they have something more important than these trivial meetings, so what will they gain anyway? I know you feel angry at what I'm saying, because family and friends are a person's strength, and I am aware of that.. But let me ask you, do you really feel like someone prefers their family over their phone? Of course not, because the phone and social media have brainwashed him with lies and meaningless words. What do you think of the present? It's bad, but it looks like the future is even worse.
Hi glad_apricot, do you think that there may be times where physical presence and communication is not possible, therefore in these instances such technologies are beneficial?
I think that we can share our experiences in real times with friends,family or anyone they want as they together in real world.
It will let people more accurately see&interact with physicl objects.
More effective_efficient testing&training.
It has bad effects.yourprivte data is all over inter net which is not good at all.l think it harms children they can come across dangrous sites &abusive content.it makes it easier to belive in false information.
Metaverse is a good thing or bad thing based on the usage of the general public some people uses for fun, entertainment,
and for enjoyment . But some people like hacker can theft, and some bad thing will happen but if we want to stop the bad things there should be a rule for Metaverse and it should be created by the government. So government gives some restriction like below 18 years should be only parental guidance. And they should have the time like 6.00am to 12.00am
and 2.00pm to 9.00pm . And children to avoid video picture in the Metaverse . And the Metaverse is not bad or good it depends upon the usage of the Metaverse
What you have said is right that it depends on us how we are going to use it. I think that rules and limitations should be suggested by elderly people as well. And I don't think that the children under 18 would do mischievous things, strict restrictions and parents guidance must be there for the people who are above 18. As they think that they are matured enough and can do anything they like. They are the one who do cyber bullying so importance should be given to people who are above 18 as young children learn from their elders if we stop them children won't be spoiled. And when we speak about time limit I think we should give maximum 2 hours not more than that as we might get addicted to it.
In multiverse there are both marvellous madness but we should see only the positive side that is marvellous side. So first of all "multiverse is a hypothetical space where there are many universe" in that our universe is also present. So we are living in the multiverse there is no madness till now,so my voting is to multiverse is marvellous.
I'm not sure about this because not everyone sees the positive side of it some see the negative side, but that doesn't mean that every one see it negative side, some people see the positive side through making online games on the metaverse.
Metaverse is not only about online games , it is also used for many other uses such as Online booking,Advertising,Educational purposes etc...It contains both positive side and negative side.It works how people are using it.
I think that the metaverse is a double-edged sword that can be useful in communicating with friends and roughly the distances between people and in the field of scientific and technological research, and it can be bad if it is used as a means of racial discrimination, bullying and spreading bad morals, so we must use it with extreme caution.
I think you're right - the metaverse being a positive or negative thing depends heavily on the people using it. How would you try to encourage people to use it for good purposes?
In my opinion, dealing with people will be more like dealing with children. How? Let me make it clear to you that in our real life, children cannot distinguish between what is bad or good, so parents are keen to take care of them, guide them to the right path, warn them when they make mistakes, or even punish them, all for their own good. A moment, what will we benefit from? We would benefit a lot if we don't create virtual mentors that look like parents, they warn you when you make mistakes and give you a punishment. I have already seen one of the students said that they can be punished by not using the metaverse, and if they do something good, congratulating them and giving them points that allow them to buy free things is a great idea that deserves to be implemented If you use Metaverse.
The metaverse is really an interesting topic as we get to view the advantages and disadvantages of the metaverse. The metaverse reduces the level of illiteracy in the world. It enables kids with disabilities or challenges access to gain knowledge, attend schools and study online. This saves a lot of time and energy moving from one place to another considering their state. They are also given the opportunity to socialize and make friends globally online. However, this can be a disadvantage as they might be discriminated against or even bullied online.
Hey storytelling_dog, don't you think those who are illiterates are those who do not have the resources to go to school? How then do you want them to access metaverse if the can't even get access to education.
The term 'Illiterate' can be defined as someone who is unable to read and write. Not necessarily due to the fact he or she does not have the resources to go to school. But that he or she does not have the knowledge of literacy. The metaverse is expanding countries with good governing systems are adapting to this therefore even in their local Schools we can see that everything is being digitalized such as teaching aids, lectures, and even books are gotten online. This gives the opportunity for even the less privileged to access education and so also challenged kids.
I see that the metaverse can be good and it can be bad, for example the benefits of the metaverse:
1. Its use in many fields due to its wide benefits in education, engineering, aviation and healthcare.
2. The metaverse gives a detailed and complete view, it also gives a complete detailed view of the place its users want to visit.
3. The metaverse gives you opportunities to connect with people you don't know and create new and wonderful relationships.
As for the disadvantages of Metaverse:
1. High cost: Many people may not be able to use it because of its high cost, which is bad.
2. It may cause introverted people who love isolation and loneliness and do not interact with the real world, because they have become obsessed with the metaverse.
3. It may cause health problems such as pain in the neck and eyes, the emergence of bone diseases, and the emergence of a curvature in the spine, and it also gives its users the feeling of laziness and permanent lethargy.
To my knowledge, these are the most notable disadvantages and benefits of the metaverse.
I believe the metaverse will be good for the world as it will do more than support remote work and collaboration beyond geographic and physical barriers, it will enable a whole new level of testing and training with great efficiency. Wth the metaverse you will be able to travel virtually anywhere in the world simply by strapping on a headset. Since the metaverse helps you travel anywhere in the world, it will help one learn more about different destinations.
For something so magnificent with all the advantages has anyone thought of the cost. Therefore we have to really weigh the options ,is it really worth it???
Especially countries that are not economically stable.
My opinion on your question is that when electricity was first invented .It was spreading around the world few people thought that it will not reach the interior sides of few countries but now it is hard to see a proper house without electricity the same is with internet;we can never predict the future maybe metaverse could even replace or perform as an advanced version of the internet itself with less cost than now.
Imagine like how people are interacting through texts they could connect and talk with a person with the felling that they are before us maybe this could be even safer than the way we are interacting through texts in which we don't know whose words they are!!
Thanks for shedding more light and I agree with you on this one
Hello Kim,
I have a question for you: Which of the top tech companies are associated with the Metaverse?
From my point of view, I think that the metaverse is a double-edged weapon. It has its pros and cons. For the pros, yes it will mitigate the percentage of unemployment by creating job opportunities, especially for those specialized in computer science, connecting the world and making it as a small village, developing learning and teaching particularly after creating some educational applications like AR LOOPA, TOONTASTIC and 4D augmented reality and finally enhancing work environment by letting people to work at home comfortably. For the cons, metaverse leads to the spread of cybercrimes, addiction problems, social isolation, mental health problems and last but not least cyberbullying.
The metavirus is a new thing and everything has its pros and cons. We cannot judge it unless we try it or see it. But from what I said, I say that its positives
1- It works to improve the efficiency of social media
2- Enables people to get to know others or friends from all over the world
3- It makes people with special needs do things that they could not do, by imagining the person himself walking, for example, and it makes him happy when he returns to the real world.
The negatives are
1- It makes people separate from each other
2- You make people addicted to it and they don't want to leave it
Among the benefits of Metaverse for individuals are: opening new labor markets, especially in remote work, the ability to bear the cost and creating new experiences, in addition to the activity of the virtual economy. Create new marketing opportunities
One of the disadvantage of metaverse is that it has the potential for bullying,harassments and assaults.There are more reasons for addictive behaviours.
Hello matthew, I am very excited about the topic of virtual games, I love them very much, and I am excited about how the technological development will reach in communication. For me, everything has good and bad side, but the most important thing is that the good qualities are more. If technology had not evolved and been invented, we would have been uneducated and undeveloped, and our planet would live in a state of backwardness and stupidity. We can make technology good if we use it well and in an organized way. At the same time now, our children are imitating us, and children have started using the phone from a young age and become addicted to it. Thus, we will produce a generation that is similar to a silent stone , technonlogy controls their minds without feeling it, so we have to set laws and apply them well. what do you think????
Thanks for this question poetic_nature. You should ask your questions to experts on the expert discussion post to make sure they get seen. Matthew Ball's post is here - https://talk.economistfoundation.org/festivals/festival-2023/expert-1/
One of the ways to put in place a safety feature is USAGE RESTRICTIONS.
Having access to a virtual world that you find more interesting than the real world(reality) can lead to addiction and if not addressed it can have adverse effect on mental and physical health.
As people often engage in online shopping, gaming, and socializing, there are still within reality. However, immersing in another reality beyond these to create new friends, buy new products and live new lives, pose a danger of addiction if limitations aren't put in place
It is going to be difficult to totally stop a user if it becomes addictive as such, warnings and suggestions could be introduced to notify users when they've been using the metaverse for too long or allow users to set time limits on their usage, as apps like Instagram and YouTube already do.
The Metaverse has its negatives and positives, as it helps in dialogue with friends and family, and it is the future of life after the Internet, and in order to work on the development of talent and the mind, but its negatives are dangerous for the individual because it causes effort for the eye and the eye is one of the most important members due to the large number of watching virtual reality programs.
The use of special types of special computers in this field causes the technician to have a headache or nausea due to the presence of a lot of image frames
I think Metaverse is very good as we can reduce congestion, reduce transportation problems, find appropriate social relationships, use it in learning and education, expand the imagination of its users and many other features, but there are drawbacks. Isolation, which leads to family and community disintegration, as the user forgets his real world. And the collapse of morals, thus creating a corrupt generation, and they may be subjected to bullying. But I think Metaverse is good when we use it well
In my opinion, technology is a double-edged weapon, because it can make the world better with its advantages such as playing games. Playing games gives amusement and enjoyment, of course, if the games are great, and also the advantage of online shopping, as it reduces time and effort, and also you can shop at any time of the day and in any condition you are in. Social communication is one of its most important advantages because it contributes to cooperation and solidarity and enables people to get acquainted and create new relationships and facilitates acquaintance with the cultures of other peoples. However, it has some disadvantages, e.g. online shopping is expensive and sometimes you dob't get your purchase on time because of late delivery. Also, social media lead to isolation from family and society due to excessive use. Another disadvantage is poor academic achievement due to addiction, and finally, loss of privacy and the spread of false rumors
First, your comment is very wonderful, because you mentioned something that no one mentioned, which is that technology is a double-edged sword, but I would like to ask you a question according to my understanding of your comment. Do you want to be a virtual reality maker? And how?
The Metaverse is good and bad for the world. I say that because with the Metaverse you can meet new and sometimes kind people. You can socialize with people from across the world. Through the Metaverse you can learn about many new cultures and languages. However even though there are many good things that the Metaverse can offer you it also has some bad sides. Sometimes when you meet people through the Metaverse they are not always good people. They can scammers or worse. There are many good things and bad thing the Metaverse can offer.
Through the Metaverse you can learn about new and exciting things. You can create friendships with other people and through that you can play all types of Metaverse games. Through the Metaverse you can experience many virtual activities such as Roblox and Minecraft and more. You can a lot of fun while in the Metaverse.
I think that the metaverse is good and bad because people are able to reach out to other people but people can get cyberbullied.The pros of being on the metaverse are that nowadays people don't go outside and meet people but they look for friends on the internet.So they can meet people and find friends online even if they are in a different state or country.The cons of being on the metaverse is that people can get bullied and that can lead to people being depressed.And that can lead to suicide and the person bullying them most likely won't know what they did.
Can you think of any ways the metaverse could be regulated to stop cyberbullying? And who do you think is responsible for putting these rules in place?
Maybe a way for cyberbullying to be regulated is by emmployees that work for that app or company to check the comment or post before it goes public and they can make sure that the comment is not mean or inapropiate.Then nobody can get cyber bullied.The person that would be responsible is the ceo of that app or company.
I disagree because...
Metaverse will be a great virtual application and will attract millions towards it, so the employees of this application will not be able to reach everyone. I would prefer to have a special button for the program that looks like a bell 🔔
If someone is being bullied, he will press it, and immediately the button will have the function of banishing this person from my virtual reality in Metaverse.
In my opinion, I think that it is not useful and a wrong decision, as it causes obstacles between (the virtual and the real world) and that in this thing they will spend all their time in the unreal virtual world and everything is not real in it, and I think that there must be some restrictions that must be taken into account such as
The limited time for users, as this thing will prevent addiction and delve into the virtual world, and the user will not be very frequent, and he will have enough time to practice his normal life, such as work, practicing hobbies, practicing sports, talking to family, and others.
And this thing will help reduce the risks of hackers and bullies over the Internet because the user is not present in a lot on Metavrse and with this thing the hackers will find it difficult in their work and it is possible to eliminate the hackers in this way..
Addiction greatly affects the life of an individual, causing severe depression, fear of people, and loneliness.
And it has other negative effects...
In the metaverse people meet different kind of people with different kind of character some of them have a good character while some of them have bad character which means that people can learn some bad habit from their fellow players.
How might this be different from real life?
This might be different from the real life because in the real life people have less opportunity to meet more people while in the metaverse people have more chance to socialize with thousand of people who they don't even know them in the real world.
This is very possible!
The metaverse is an online hub that allows kids to almost be who they want and you can learn a lot of things and not be anti-social in real life. If you have an Oculus you can explore the metaverse and learn to help, play with, and meet people in real life because you are in a made up place that you can mostly make up yourself and games have a 3D place that you can look around. The metaverse can have people all over the country, and they can teach you stuff about their culture and you can tell them stuff about you, and the metaverse could have millions or even billions of people to be with and meet. Sometimes in the metaverse you can see beautiful things and you can listen to music while playing a game that feels like reality.
Is there anything you'd like to explore in the metaverse that you may not be able to explore on earth?
As a matter of fact, many of the things that people want to do in the metaverse run parallel to what they're already doing in their day-to-day lives. These include activities such as attending concerts, playing video games, going shopping, watching sports and going to the movies.
I feel like the metaverse has a good and bad impact at the same time. The good thing is that you can experience
a new world. Also in my opinion you can make more friends from all around the world from far distances.And the bad thing about the metaverse is it can encourage bad behavior. In addition, you can get hurt by hitting something, also there can be cyber bullying therefor that is the good and the bad things about the metaverse in my opinion hopefully you agree.
I'm not sure about this because... I think experiencing a new world can be risky as well as exciting. I also don't think the Metaverse can be a bad impact only because of behavior although it should be a behavior punished in the Metaverse. I feel it can be a bad impact because of how it might deteriorate our communication skills, and how we act on our actions and process emotions differently. Lastly, how it might leave the people of the real world when this new world" is no more.
I'm really excited to see how the metaverse will increase our ability to socialise with people from around the world.
just sit and realize how it would feel playing with kids from all around the world your age ? Just like you outside I think this is gonna be great for humans . It stops war by us realizing what they go through and what we go through .
I think they should use the metaverse to teach us more about other countries . But you can still get bullied in the metaverse so there is some good thing's and some bad things but overall i think this is great for social life ...
Are there any social activities you would like to try in the metaverse that you couldn't do normally?
Yes I do I will like to see how it feel to be in a video game like its really me . That and How it feel to be inside the metaverse .For example do it feel like its not real or feel really real .
Trying extreme sports is the most popular thing that people would do in the metaverse but not in real life. Other such activities include altering one's consciousness with VR instead of intoxicants, or creating an alter ego, Express yourself through avatars, Education, Purchase real estate, Consume and create art, Play Games ,Shop, trade, and sell, Work collaboratively, Meet with friends, Visit other realms and also Attend concerts, trade exhibits, and learning events
Even though that the metaverse looks like a good place there is some bad sides. The metaverse seems real,it makes you feel that this is reality, and that you feel like your in a new reality, but no the metaverse could be bad because you can get bullied and you feel like you getting bullied is actually real, and you will get sad and you will feel weird about it. The metaverse makes you feel bad in yourself because if you be yourself you can get made fun of for it.Either way there is no way for the metaverse to be bad or good cause it can go either way. Now what do you people think about my two comments?
Nowadays , the Metaverse has developed and entered the world of education so that we can keep pace with developments, as it can be applied in the classroom because of its effective effects on understanding difficult concepts and works to prepare the student for other environments such as chemical reactions that are difficult to use in the laboratory or reach the bottom of the volcano
Yes, this is correct. But you think that's just what Metaverse does?
I think metaverse will be an advantage because there is Improbable and even impossible experiences,
More equal access to virtual experiences,
Heightened social connections and lifelike interactions,
More accurate representations of physical objects in the virtual world,
Better collaboration and co-creation,
More effective, efficient testing and training, etc.
The Metavarse is great,
You can go from a pirate on the moon to a person eating a croissant in Japan.
The possibilities of the Metavarse is infinite.
I understand all the disagreements there is about the Metavarse but personally I think that we underestimate the Metaverse
The world of metaverse What is the world of metaverse I asked a lot about the world of metaverse, but when I saw some of my friends' comments, I got to know the application.
The Metaverse application is a virtual global application, as it is generated through electronic devices in which people interact with each other.
Global applications have a double-edged sword, and an example of the applications in our hands is the Metaverse application, which has its pros and cons.
Examples of positives are:
*1 Helping social interaction, during the Corona virus, the only way to interact between people was the Internet.
*2 Connecting the world and people to each other.
* 3 Developing learning and teaching via the Internet. During the Corona virus, more than 90 •\• students were unable to study face-to-face, as it is an easy way to learn.
As for the negatives:
Bullying a person through internet sites.
* 2 Loss of communication with the outside world by not making friends in the outside world.
*3 The negative impact on society and the difference in cultures, as it leads to the failure of society.
Therefore, I hope that the Internet and communication networks will be a positive aspect of the world.
Yes, the metaverse is a little crazy thing, because the metaverse can allow the world to enter a virtual world that resembles reality, such as education on it, buying and selling operations, and so on. Their minds can be affected by this, but we can reduce this problem by not integrating the basic things that are in virtual reality into the metaverse.
The metaverse is going to be a great step in technology.
As a great technology advancement, it therefore comes with a very wide range of useful attributes,many which can be stated until experienced .
But whatever has an advantage must also have a disadvantage.
Just as there are thousands of corrupt and dangerous people in the actual world,there is no guarantee that the virtual world is any different.
The metaverse is one of the biggest advancement in technological history, but it's going to need some fail safes to ensure safety of the users.
Yes, I agree with you, but what are the laws in Metaverse to ensure the safety of users?
The virtual world has become an integral part of our lives, and it is a digital world that we use at all times, times and places. These applications have pros and cons and the positives: At the time of Corona, we were able to complete the educational process and people follow up on their work remotely and facilitate the lifestyle. With the development of technology, the number of deaths of the elderly has become only few. Technological development in the manufacture of medicines and vaccines. As for the negatives: I have seen virtual people occupying many professions in the future, such as broadcaster, teacher, accountant, and this leads to widespread unemployment and dependence on technology more than the workforce.
In this day and age where the world is a global village, metaverse will really have a great impact or huge potential in the world.
Another interesting factor about the metaverse is the metaverse allowing you to socialize, meet new friends, play games and also allow you to be what you want to be, makes it indeed a very interesting invention.
Despite the fact that the metaverse is a great technology invented so far, we should not forget the fact that countries in Africa, e.g Nigeria where the percentage of people living in poverty is high, who find it difficult to feed, with little or no access to basic needs, for such groups of people it will be difficult for the metaverse to sell or be completely accepted.
Also in a country like Nigeria where we have different beliefs, religion and ethnic groups , they will find it strange or it will not be totally accepted.
Another point worth noting is that the youth will be distracted with their studies going to school/college will be a problem.
In conclusion everything can be moderated, as every good thing has advantages and disadvantages
I agree with others that stated the fact that metaverse as any other things in this world has advantages and disadvantages. But some points can be contradicting for instance, One of its advantages is that metaverse can give everyone equal virtual experience, Meaning people can experience of living a certain life or owning certain luxury. But the high cost of equipment will not allow the poor and the rich have the same experience as it is in the real world
Every coin has two sides. With this being said, I think we should consider the same for this topic. The metaverse is something that has both advantages and disadvantages attached to it. If we are being logical, is not the possibility of people subjecting themselves to a digital environment while gradually withdrawing themselves from the real one prove to have many health risks. I mean due to substantial data I gathered from Statista, There is a 47% ot of 60% of metaverse users who suffer from addiction to a stimulated reality and an equal 41 % which suffer from privacy and mental issues as well. What are the odds these rates do not increase?
I think you make some good points on the potential dangers and health risks addiction in any capacity to such an environment can create.
How do you think companies in this space can manage and mitigate the health risks involved?
Well for one, I think anti-reflection screen films should be aimed at more in production, to reduce graphic radiation. I also think protection of confidentiality should not be compromised so easily in regards to the persons who value their privacy.
The potential impact of the metaverse is a complex and multifaceted issue that requires a nuanced and thorough examination of various factors.
Positive Impacts:
Increased social connectivity: The metaverse has the potential to bring people together from all over the world and form new relationships, regardless of geographical barriers. It could also provide a platform for individuals to connect with like-minded individuals and form communities around shared interests and hobbies.
Improved virtual experiences: The metaverse has the potential to provide highly immersive and interactive virtual experiences that go beyond what is currently possible. For example, it could allow users to experience virtual reality in a more natural and intuitive way, or offer new opportunities for learning and education.
Economic opportunities: The metaverse has the potential to create new economic opportunities and industries, such as virtual real estate and virtual goods sales. For example, virtual real estate could become a new investment opportunity, and virtual goods could become a new revenue stream for businesses.
Negative Impacts:
Addiction and social isolation: There are concerns that spending too much time in the metaverse could lead to addiction and further isolate individuals from the real world. This could have negative consequences on their mental and physical health, as well as their relationships with family and friends.
Cybersecurity risks: The metaverse is vulnerable to hacking and other forms of cybercrime, which could pose a threat to users and their personal information. For example, virtual identities and virtual assets could be stolen, or personal information could be used for malicious purposes.
Privacy concerns: The metaverse may raise privacy concerns as companies and governments could potentially collect and use personal data for their own purposes. This could include the tracking of users' movements and actions in the metaverse, or the collection and analysis of personal information for advertising and marketing purposes.
In conclusion, the metaverse has the potential to bring about many positive changes and opportunities, but also carries significant risks and challenges. It is important for individuals, businesses, and governments to carefully consider these potential impacts as the metaverse continues to develop and evolve.
As I stated in my previous comment in the Metaverse you can have a lot of fun and meet new people however there are a lot of negative side effects that Metaverse has. One of those things is scammers and cyberbullying. In the Metaverse you can sometimes come across scammers who can hack into your Metaverse account and steal your private information. Another reason is cyberbullying. If you come across a random person while in the Metaverse they can sometimes intend to cause cyberbullying. They can do that by saying that they intend to do harm and may say hurtful words. Even though there are many good thing about the Metaverse there are many bad and negative side effects to it.
How do you think cyberbullying could be addressed in the metaverse?
A way that it can addressed is by making it easier to be reported and by teaching the people the impact of cyberbullying.
I believe that bullying in the metaverse can be reduced by conducting cultural courses on the metaverse and spreading awareness among metaverse users or even for the metaverse to ban users who are bullying and violent towards other users
the core concept of a metaverse is certainly intriguing, and while I'm sure this will surprise some people I am excited to see it getting some active development. But it is very discouraging as someone who works in tech to see the level of hype that's been built up around it. Hype is only healthy when the expectations it creates are in the ballpark of what you can actually deliver. Let it grow past that point and it becomes your worst nightmare. Because the moment consumers get their hands on your product and see all the compromises they need to accept to get something that's a pale shadow of what they imagined it would be they don't just turn on you. They turn on the entire concept. And, realistically, I think that's the outcome we're headed for at this point.
I think that metaverse is not good because, there are high chances of
-The cost of the equipments are super high.
-There are high chances of being bullied.
-And the chances are super high that we will be addicted to it.
And the pros are lesser than cons
So I think that Metaverse is not good.
I believe that the metaverse will be a marvelous place because it already show and advancement in human technological area i believe that the metaverse will be a world that will help us enhance in education system,health care.it also help in technological advancement etc..... Even though the metaverse is a place where you can work or do all sort jobs in the metaverse you can also socalise globally we could have friends all over the world. But even though the metaverse has a lot of advantages it also has it disadvantage such as health concern,cyber bulling even though the metaverse has it disadvantage it still an awesome place so if we can avoid the disadvantage. and don't spend too much time in the metaverse it will be a great virtual place it is describe as our planet twin
Welcome.
Best Advice of Gold "Everything in the world, whether human, animal, equipment, technology, has two sides (good-bad)"
Let's start with the positives of Metaverse /
1- Interaction and sharing with people.
2- Sharing favorite hobbies.
3- Attending social events effortlessly and without incurring exorbitant costs
4- The most important of which is to reduce overcrowding
But now the negatives of Metaverse:
1- Privacy, which is the biggest threat that Metaverse may attack
2- Fear of the collapse of morals and exposure to high doses of pornography
3- Isolation from everyone around us and others
In the end, it is a double-edged sword. If we know how to use it well, we welcome it
If we use it badly, we don't want it
Thanks
Yes, I agree with you, everything in life has its pros and cons, but we are the ones who can choose, and If we want, we can look at the positives and try to stay away from its negatives by using the metaverse in the right way, or we can turn to its negatives and overlook its positives and virtues.
Virtual reality is a technique based on the idea of indulging in an industrial reality and not naturally, but there are some of its pros and cons, and one of its most important positives is integrating the digital world with the real world and provides a user with detailed scenes and interacts in Communication and its quality is high and it has many uses such as medicine, engineering and education, and despite all these developments that the virtual world has brought about in all fields, there are some negatives to it first, it may not be possible much From its use due to its high cost to its glasses, especially in education, where the number of students is large and causes the presence of introverted people who love loneliness and pride. They just want to live with the virtual world and have an obsession with watching his movies and games And also the use of a lot of virtual world may cause health problems such as problems in the eye and neck pain, as it gives its user a feeling of permanent laziness
Should anyone be in charge of metaverse?
To begin with what is metaverse?Metaverse in other words virtual reality (VR)is an online 3d space in which people use to interact with others and also have an experience or opportunity to visit where they can't in the real world.
Yes I agree that someone should be in charge the use of metaverse because, it could have some effects on the user it could either be positive or negative.
There should st least be a limit or maybe a timing due to the side-effects.
Some of the positive effects includes; developing the users knowledge or enlightening the user on a subject of interest in the case of education, while in the case of exploring, it helps the user to be able to adapt to the situation if faced in the real world.
As for the negative effects, first, it could lead to addiction, it could also cause mental damage, a situation that makes for such user to start displaying signs of madness, because there's now a contrastive overload between the real world and the virtual space.
Another reason someone should be in charge is that it could get to a stage where the user gets attached to it, giving no time for other things in the user's life.
Some interesting thoughts! Should one person be in charge or perhaps a group of people? Or something different?
Actually it depends on the user status ,if the user is still under the care of a guidance then the guidance should set a particular day or time in which the metaverse.
But if the user is no longer under parental control or under the care of any guidance then the user should set timing for the use of the metaverse
I believe that the metaverse will change the world for the better if people use it in the right way, and the metaverse must advance scientifically and also advance technologically, so progress in these aspects is to assure that the world will change for the better... I also see that communication. Social media through the Internet has advantages such as helping to exchange ideas and information, enabling interaction with the nation’s issues and the challenges it faces, facilitating acquaintance with the cultures of other peoples, as for the negative aspects, wasting time due to its excessive use, bullying via the Internet, and isolation from family and society. But if the metaverse sets laws, these negatives can be resolved and the metaverse will become the best app in the world
.: Expensive One of the main disadvantages of virtual reality games is that not everyone can afford them. They are very expensive and people who cannot afford them will not be able to use this technology. Another aspect of virtual reality technology is that this technology should not replace natural communication between people. In addition, it will present the possibility of deception. flaws
.: Disadvantages of specializing in virtual reality and reality
The booster
Absence of flexibility.
Minimize human contact.
. Being addicted to the digital world
. Eye strain due to frequent viewing of virtual reality programs.
The use of special types of special computers in this field causes the technician to have a headache or nausea due to the presence of too many devices
picture frames.
.: The most important advantages of virtual reality
Virtual reality technology is used in video games and the user feels like he is in another world. In video games with a virtual reality game console, vibrations as well as other sensations are transmitted. The use of sound and graphics in video is integrated into virtual reality
Metavirus is a double-edged sword, and its positives overpower its negatives rather, as it creates job opportunities, reduces the unemployment rate, and helps to live, especially for those who specialize in computers and programming, and so on. Cyber bullying online
I think the metaverse is marvellous because, with it we can do things that can't be done in reality.
Examples:
1. We are able to make discoveries about the solar system without becoming an astronaut.
2. We are able to make scientific experiments without harming ourselves.
Advantage:
1. It has helped to reduce pollution. For example, with the metaverse you can visit the solar system without rockets that release smoke that pollutes the air.
In fact, I feel that the Metaverse will be a very wonderful thing, and when I read about it, I felt very excited about this matter, but you know, a question came to my mind, otherwise, how did this wonderful idea come to the master who wanted to release it? Also, what was the idea of it when he invented it? Was the point for him to play and have fun, or was it for development? I agree that it is a beautiful and wonderful idea, but will we be the right people to own it and will we use it in the right way? So I think that the fear of its negatives and harms is unnecessarily because these negatives will not exist unless we use it in a bad way, but we always have to look at the bright side of the matter and avoid the dark side of it and try to use it For the purpose for which it was created
Metaverse is absolutely a great idea.Day by day future technology is getting updated.i am very exited to see how the metaverse works.There are some people against the metaverse because of the disadvantages.The one thing we should understand is advantages and disadvantages is depended on how people is using it.In my POV metaverse will make our jobs easier.
Metaverse and climate change.
I see that they are two related places, as climate change and natural disasters hinder work, education, and life affairs. We can continue our work and education in light of natural disasters and the danger of climate change through metaverse, as it provides us with a real immersion environment, a real sense of real virtual communication, and an environment that is completely similar to real environments.
While we cannot leave the house in light of natural disasters and climate change such as torrential rains, floods, snow, and extreme temperatures, the Metaverse will contribute to keeping pace with our work.
I feel the metaverse will create a new addiction just like the social media has, according to statista.com "40 percent of U.S. online users aged 18 to 22 years reported feeling addicted to social media During the April 2019 survey". like when two or more people are in a room but do not talk to each other because they are all cut up in watching social media that sometimes they even forget that they are others in the room.
Social media addiction makes the user get a release of dopamine a hormone that makes you feel good when one gets a like, a retweet or a positive comment. Now when you are in a totally immersive environment there your entire senses are engaged.
The developers of the metaverse need to consider the possibility of being addictive and establish protocols that will counter that such as timers, setting a limit to use etc.
There are several advantages, along with several disadvantages to the metaverse. The metaverse is a good way to communicate and interact with others, yet it is also an easier way to get cyber bullied by others who do not care as much for it. I have learned from experience that cyberbullying is insanely common within this realistic world. Some things within this virtual world are unable to be carried out within the real world. For example, if you are skydiving everyday before breakfast, it is more than likely that you would not carry this out in the real world. Some people who think the metaverse will change the world for better are technological companies who are interested in activities such as this. It could help them gain a higher amount of money and it could allow more people to play. Some people who may believe it is a bad thing, along with me, are people who think it could take away from your real life outside of the virtual world. People may begin to spend their money on it or become a terrible person in the metaverse and it may carry on to the real world, which will cause an uproar.
The metaverse could have a positive impact because doctors can have successful surgeries, it could help people get jobs, even finish school and graduate with a diploma. I think that the metaverse has a lot in store for us and can help us in the world now. Although the metaverse does have some downsides I think we can still overcome those downsides with more positive things that the metaverse could bring to us. In conclusion the metaverse seems to be a good thing and not a bad thing for the world.
I believe the metaverse would be bad for the world. I think the metaverse would be bad for the world is because problems they are having virtually can effect how they act in the real world. Cyberbulling can cause mental and physical health. They can harassed and even worse assulted. That is not good for the world because sometimes people can turn to a life of crime becuase they think that is the only way they can solve it. For example, a child was in a metaverse and a bully came up to them. The child will be questioning theirself before doing anything. When that child grows up they would think life of crime would be best for them because taking stuff from other people might make them incontrol, and cover up the pain that they experienced as a child. That is why I think the metaverse would be bad for the world.
How do you think the metaverse could be made a safe place?
The metaverse can be both good and bad for the real world. It could be good for the world because people are offered more job opportunities and advancement in the medical field. There are some people that think that the metaverse is good. Technology companies and some medical companies may think that the metaverse will change the world for the better. There are also some people who think that the metaverse is bad. People in need and restaurants would think that the metaverse is a bad thing. If people are always using the metaverse, people wouldn't be going to restaurants anymore.
metaverse I think is wonderful and crazy at the same time wonderful because it caused a great development in the world. If we go back a little to ancient times, we will notice the magnificence created by the Metaverse in our current era, where everything has become work, sale, purchase, entertainment, and anything that we notice saving time and effort is really wonderful. So
and I think it's human because there is no country or home that is not devoid of metaverses, that is, it has become a global thing. Every person in the world has metaverses, and this I do not think is a healthy thing because it will make the whole world dependent on the same thing. they do not tend to invent new things like metaverses, but they are less harmful. It's amazing, but people have to go to invent new amazing things
In my opinion, Metaverse is cool on the one hand, and on the other hand, it's crazy cool because it benefits the medical field, for example, doctors can benefit from it through virtual operations, knowing right and wrong, and applying the right. So, it affects the world very positively and reduces deaths rates. It helps save people's lives from dangers. However, it's crazy because it can affect people's minds, for example if a person does not have something that he owns in real life, he can find it in metaverse and this is how people grow to be greedy and dissatisfied with what they have. It is necessary that people reduce the use of the metaverse because it will negatively affect their lives..
Through the Metaverse you can express yourself through a customizable avatar. In the real world a person may be shy to to truly express themselves in the real world , but through the Metaverse they can express themselves freely without being scared or shy. If you express yourself you can gain more confidence within yourself.
Hi blissful_wallaby,
Good point that shy people might be able to express themselves better in the metaverse. Do you think that spending time socialising in the metaverse might make it even more difficult for them to learn to socialise in the real world?
I think that socialising in the metaverse might make it easier for a person to socialise in the real world. I say that because when a person socialises in the metaverse they can be themselves and while in the real world thanks to that person socializing in the metaverse for so long and them being able to express themselves better in the metaverse can instil more confidence within that person to express themselves better in the real world.
The metaverse is good for fun and the fulfillment of dreams, but if we look at reality, everything in the metaverse is not real. When you return to the real world, everything you built will go to waste. And the metaverse has risks. What if the metaverse can't take you back to the real world? People are not real.
Metaverse has its own pros and cons concerning different factors. Thinking of the marvellous side, it gives an while new society to interact with and helps to extend our knowledge on all fields by practical application. I think it will be the best anxiety-killer and better platform to express our thoughts. Now concerning the mad side, it creates a wall between the real world and the virtual verse. There's a possibility that an individual could forget about the existence of real world by the addiction of the metaverse. It is important to notice the both sides of this coin. I think metaverse could be efficiently used if the equilibrium is created between the real world and the metaverse. But I personally welcome the concept and looking forward for it's applications. Imagine going to any place in the world and beyond world and experience the same without moving out of your room. It gives me goosebumps to think that would be real to come by virtuality
I honestly don't know if the internet is marvelous or madness. I also feel like it does more harm than anything. things like cyberbullying can cause depression or make someone completely shut down. the internet can be a dangerous place and people like trolls and hackers can find out where you live. people can be really mean and make the internet a bad thing.
As we know that everything in excess affects negatively, metavrese has made it easier for people to communicate from long distances
and the creation of a lot of electronic friends, but this led to a lot of intrusions for some people and interference with private information also, sitting on social media for a little while won't hurt but there has become an addiction to phones, and this causes poor eyesight because of the continuous sitting on it
I think the Metaverse is good for the world because it can help with socializing with different people but it has its disadvantages especially with the length of time that you may spend in the virtual world.
• It can be unhealthy for you if you spend to much time on it
• It can allow you to confuse it with the real world
• It can distract you from important things you were supposed to do on that day you get on
I think it can be good and bad at the same time depending on what you may use it for, but it is definitely a good way of making and playing with friends online.
The metaverse would be madness due to the fact that it would cause people to change their behaviour.The metaverse would also put it's users in danger of getting hurt physically and cyberbullying.Kid and adults are going to get to addicted to the metaverse and may forget about the world and society.
You said that the metaverse cause people to change their behaviour, can you give any examples of how their behaviour might change? How important is it to ensure that the users of the metaverse are not put in danger, can you give examples of how we could ensure this didn't happen?
The virtual world has many pros and cons, so I will explain in this comment some of the pros and cons of the virtual world.
One of the most important advantages of the virtual world: the ability to differentiate between the different types, techniques and applications of actual reality.
Leisure and entertainment.
High scientific value in addition to the value of education.
Among its most important disadvantages are:
The use of special types of special computers in this field causes the technician to have a headache or nausea due to the presence of a lot of image frames. The effect of the five senses is limited, because the senses used in it are sight, hearing, and touch. The cost of the devices is high. The presence of some immoral programs in virtual reality devices.
An interesting point you have made - can you find some research to back up your point 'the presence of some immoral programs in virtual reality devices?' What do you mean by immoral? Can you explain if your pros and cons are the same for everyone or would different people have different views on what was a pro and what was a con? Can you extend on your answer?
Thank you for your response to my comment. I know very well that many parents no longer control keeping their children away from the Internet and the World Wide Web. This thing has become a reality that we live with, but this thing is not true and harms the interest of our people, but this thing is difficult for us to control, but The most dangerous thing is that these programs can contain severe violence against children. Perhaps these games are capable of capturing the mentality of the people. The child’s highest goal is to achieve victory and victory over the opponent, and this is very bad.
One of the advantages is that we live in a world that we all dream about and aspire to, but in return we will lose many values, customs and traditions, and among its disadvantages is the spread of wrong thinking and inappropriate treatment. Wrong thoughts and beliefs
This is very interesting. In your opinion, what are the most important values that we are facing the risk of losing?
Advantages of Metaverse: 1- Making the world a small village where all its members can communicate with each other 2- Obtaining more fun and excitement by opening up to the whole world 3- Working, studying and communicating remotely in emerging crises such as the Corona crisis4- Obtaining scientific and international research easily and creating various job opportunities through the Internet.
Disadvantages of Metavirus: 1- There are great risks and disadvantages of crimes on the Internet 2- The Internet greatly affects civilizations, cultures and civil societies 3- Preoccupation with the Internet all the time and the loss of direct human contact.
Hello everyone Metaverse I believe it made a change in all of our lives. It has its pros and cons....... The positives are ✅ First: He linked peoples together Second: He introduced us to the cultures of other peoples Third: He made the world a small village and facilitated communication between members of peoples, and the negatives are ❌. First: It took control of our minds by affecting the thinking of some people. Second: It created introversion among some users. So do you think, my friends, that the metaverse will connect peoples with each other or that it will dismantle them??.
Why do you think the metaverse makes some people more introverted when it is designed to be about socialisation?
The metaverse is a good idea but it has its disadvantages. It is addictive and when you get used to it you'll tend to forget about your real world or not bother about it. When your living in an unrealistic realm where things are nice and good youll not want to focus on the real realm that is right infront of you.
I really get excited when I know how Metaverse will make us connect with other people and how we can be more friends! When we have friends from other countries or cities, we can learn about their culture and civilization, this develops our mind and intelligence and makes us educated and interested in these matters!
It will also change the world for the better, faster and automatic. But there are damages to the Metaverse. It is true that we can get to know many people, but are all people honest and real? I mean, it is possible for the person you met to deceive you and say that he is a boy or maybe a girl, and he may deceive you and take money or deceive you in a lot of other things, so safety is a real concern. Not only that, we must take into account the cost and current availability.
Also bullying, there is cyberbullying and it is the most serious problem that leads to the destruction of someone's life.
In my opinion, Metaverse is a good thing, but we must take into account its shortcomings.
Excellent answer, safety is a real concern. What do you think we should do to turn Metaverse into a safe environment for everyone? What the owners of the tool can do? What you can do to feel safe when you'll be exploring the Metaverse?
I don't think it will be a really safe environment!
Maybe it can, but not in a very good way.
I apologize for saying this but humans are the reason why metaverses are not safe.
If we want metaviruses to be really safe, we must first change some of the things, traits, or habits that exist in humans.
Because not all people are safe and sound, of course you will not trust anyone you see in front of you or who you know now.
We change humans to the better, then the metaverse changes to the better!
This is my opinion.
The pros and cons of the virtual world
Among the advantages of the virtual world: -
Allowing to share different virtual reality environments with people from all over the world.
Helping the user to reach the required level of skill.
Work in a field with a promising future.
Disadvantages of the virtual world:
Lack of flexibility.
Reducing human contact.
Teachers and educators are not convinced of the full effectiveness of these applications.
Metaverse may be considered bad for the world sue to the fact that individuals will become glued to their screens therefore depriving them the ability and freedom for them to face reality and experience nature
Metavrese consists of many techniques such as virtual reality, enhanced reality, artificial intelligence, and web 3 techniques, it is one, two-dimensional, and three-dimensional. It is interactive and non-interactive. It is hypothetical and materialistic expands every day. It is not a specific type of technology. But it is a set of techniques that have led humanity to a better way of communicating and expressing. Metavers is a virtual ecosystem for communication and interaction, and today we as a global community have been contributing to its development for decades now, if you have already played a video game, or if you previously used a mobile phone، Or if you have ever watched TV, published a book, or even sent a message on social media, you have somehow participated in the development of Metavers himself.
History of Metavers
Over the past several decades even before the 1980s, there was an imagination of the conceptual meaning of Metafiris as a way for humans to interact and communicate in virtual spaces. And not only that, the idea was in the minds of authors and creators from different backgrounds and different professions of different races and ethnicities, regarding the history of Metavrese, we can go back to the thirties and talk about Pygmalion's Spectacles، Stanley J. Winbaum, or jumping to the 1990s for a novel called Snow Crash by Neil Stevenson, who coined the name Metavers in 1992, a novel full of technology, history, politics, programming, and philosophies، And within that was the name Metaverse, in which he talked about a world or a virtual presence. However, the novel did not address the conceptual meaning of Metavers, despite the existence of a stream of literary novels and works that dealt with the term, and we can divide that:
· 1800-1950, the novel's generation showed three-dimensional imaging models or stereo technology, and literary books.
· 1960-1980 The first model of Metavers appeared, such as \"Telesphere mask\" and \"virtual interface environment workstation\" NASA has been part of the construction of the Metavers for a long time through attempts to make virtual destination visits.
· 1990-2000 the experimental generation from which we move to market platforms for enhanced virtual reality, in the 1990s, there were many attempts to consume the enhanced virtual reality comprehensively، But this failed to communicate these technologies to the general public. These failures are a long series of studies to build the world of the Metaphors.
· 2000-2010 Generation adoption of institutions and consumers for Metafiris, technology such as: Unity Gaming Engine, \"ARCore\", \"ARKit\", virtual reality games and scaled HMD has emerged.
All of this leads us to our reality today.
I believe that the Metaverse would be of great impact and also change the world for better because the metaverse allows different avatars to come together with their opinions to share and develop content with which would benefit the world and its component.
Very interesting opinion, but aren't we sharing our opinions right now? How Metaverse is different to this information sharing environment we are right now?
I think that the metaverse can be quite different because at the same time it can have some advantages and disadvantages. There is really no way to know which one is better due to how everyone has their own opinions. Some people might think that there are advantages to this because it might help people to socialize or even help in important tasks like doing a surgery. But it also has its disadvantages because it can affect the mental health of people and the people in this world can lose physical touch in the real world.
.: Virtual reality features
-1- Providing a three-dimensional virtual environment that allows transformation, looking and flying within it and coexistence with it
its reality.
2- It presents the virtual world with real scales and a natural shape that is commensurate with the human vision of the sizes. Real, tangible contact with real virtual materials allowing manipulation and subjecting other agents to virtual processing.
Use the information glove
.: Disadvantages of virtual reality
1. The limited use of virtual reality as a result of the high financial costs of purchasing the required devices. 3. Watching virtual reality programs continuously using stereoscopic science fiction leads to eye strain and blurry vision.
2 The limited influence of the five senses on the reality system
There are many advantages in the world of metaverse, as it expands imagination, through a unique and unique experience, and also works to expand human horizons, which helps him to live the virtual experience in a more realistic way, and also works to encourage creativity in the field of technology and art Although there are many advantages of Metaverse, it has some disadvantages, as it makes a person live alone in a virtual world in which he does not know anything, and completely isolates him from the environment in which he lives, and it strains the eye due to the large number of watching virtual reality programs.

And not only that, the idea was present in the minds of authors and creators from different backgrounds and different professions of different races and ethnicities. So last week I explored the concept of a metaverse is a term called a three-dimensional virtual environment, where we can participate in an immersive experience in different areas of life, in ways that we would not be able to in the physical world, and go to places around the world without leaving home or office or school, and this Great investment in virtual reality and augmented reality technologies...
And what a marvel it is... that I can do anything using the metaverse without needing anything... and ask my friends, does it seem to you that these are only the advantages and benefits of the metaverse, of course not.... and there are many of them that I will mention to you dear First / 1. Connecting the world and eliminating physical distances. It makes geographical barriers unimportant. Once you enter the virtual world, your physical location is no longer important and you are no longer bound by it. Second / 2. An immersive experience mixed with fun Where you can experience everything in the most fun way which gives more opportunities for both personal projects Third / 4. Improving social media. Combining the ability to create virtual spaces in metaverse with the power of social media to create shared worlds online is a very powerful combination.
As for the positives of the Metaverse technology, there are also a set of negatives to the Metaverse technology, the most important of which are: First / 1- Addiction problems.. Exposing individuals under the age of 18 to metavirus and letting them spend a lot of time in it can seriously damage their development. Second / 2- Privacy and security issues. People don't realize that their data is being collected and sold to advertisers, among many other things. Third / 3- Virtual bullying Despite numerous campaigns to prevent these behaviors. Using the internet in a 3D setting and allowing users to feel completely immersed in the metaverse will give these bad guys more power
The metaverse has both a good side and a bad side to it. It would be beneficial for the practice and learning of skills, and it would extend our learning experiences much further. The downside is that people can easily become addicted to spending time in an unrealistic world if they are using the metaverse purely for their entertainment and satisfaction. Problems in our real world like cyberbullying also arises in the metaverse.
Why do you think bullying is a problem in the metaverse?
Cyberbullying, like other types of bullying, leads to a variety of mental health issues. Bullying in the metaverse will increase the number of individuals suffering from these mental health issues.
Metaverse is a virtual world which can be described in a single word beyond the universe. With the help of metaverse we can connect to virtual world that is seeing pictures from screen instead it makes us to feel that we are at the place. We can see that metaverse can be an advantage to business in many aspects, that is in promoting their products or service to their customers by creating a new world with their products. With the use of metaverse we can promote education by creating avatars, digital representations of users, which makes students interact with one another. It also creates a virtual learning environment for students which makes learning better. Metaverse can bring more features to the user of social media and provide a new medium of communication with each one of the users. At the industrial level it provides training and makes every employee as a best worker at the various industry levels. But there are many disadvantages with the metaverse. They create addictive behavior among the users and create privacy concerns and security issues. One of the biggest impediments is the high cost to buy, which cannot be afforded by all the people across the world. But adaptation of metaverse may lead to a major increase in carbon emission as we use internet even as it decreases carbon emission by travel.
Yes: There are risks to the Metaverse, there are positives to it, and you can live a safe life.
It is used in various branches and fields, and among these uses
1. Removing Internet restrictions: In this large virtual world, users can create different contents and then share or exchange these contents with others without any restrictions.
2. Continuity and Interactivity: Continuity makes all users' activities and actions in the Metaverse world have a permanent impact. When a user makes a change, the change will remain permanent and visible to all users.
This feature makes the Metaverse become a virtual world and we accept it as an independent and eternal world.
These are some uses of the Metaverse
We can't forget that the metaverse is merely a digital domain, and that it can't replace the security and conveniences of face-to-face relationships. It's simply a means of bringing people together in the digital realm so that they may converse and entertain each other more effectively. Of course, the metaverse has some truly useful characteristics for the larger issue world, such as making businesses function more efficiently, allowing users to educate themselves, and exploring new business opportunities.
There are numerous other benefits and advantages to using the metaverse in areas such as social media, healthcare, art architecture, gaming, medicine, and commercial use. You may learn more about how the metaverse can help these businesses by reading the following article.
There's no denying the metaverse's promise; we can even profit from it. You'll note that crypto projects and NFTs are now getting ideas from the metaverse as well. After investing in ETH Shiba, I realized the potential of cryptocurrencies is not tiny, and I believe that with the metaverse, the projects would even more explode.
I think the metaverse will be a good thing for the world. It has so many advantages, such as easier socialization and technological advancement which could help us find new solutions to problems.
I thought about both sides of the argument, and realized that everything has its advantages and disadvantages. No matter where we go, we will never be completely free from life's problems. We just have to take the risk and see where it leads us
Metaverse will stay marvelous when we use it the right way.
1. For instance it will be useful for students learning anatomy. They can study anatomy virtually without live specimens but will give them the experience of viewing it in real-life. This will help the educational institutions by reducing the coast of maintaining precious specimens and students can also explore more.
2. It will be useful for astronauts, they can undergo training in virtual space.
And many to go.....
I think the metaverse is a good thing because it can help you to socialise and make friends virtually and also I think it's a bad thing because it can lead to cyberbullying which is a bad thing. Weighing the advantages and disadvantages I think the metaverse is a great technological advancement that will change the world.
I agree with you, Metaverse helps in the technical and scientific progress also greatly in society and it will change the world for the better
In my opinion, the Metaverse is marvellous because we can be able do things that we can't be able to do easily in our real world, like exploring under the sea and the our solar system ,moon etc., we would able to meet many people across the world but safety is a real concern. So the Metaverse is really a good thing, but safety measures need to be added to avoid people getting addicted to it.
What safety measures do you suggest be added to the metaverse?
If anyone does bad things in the Metaverse, their account must be blocked for 1 week. If anyone does a good job, they must be given stars or other compliments.
I think that strict rules and regulations should be enforced in the metaverse. Rules like no tolerance for cyber bullying and also someone who uses of the metaverse should be assured protection from fraudulent acts. There should also be usage restrictions for metaverse users in order to avoid addiction and there should be availability of user identification softwares to also avoid impersonation
Metaverse is a double-edged sword, which is a wonderful thing that has positives and a bad thing that has negatives
* and among these positives
1- Connecting the world and canceling distances between people
2- There will be better social interaction via the Internet
3- It will improve social media through the Internet
4- Develop online learning and education
5- It will achieve new opportunities and material gains
* and among its disadvantages
1- There will be cybercrime and serious problems that will face Internet users
2- It will merge the different cultures of the world into one culture and this will lead to our lack of connection with the direct society
3- There will be a greater addiction to metaverse and there you will merge into the virtual world Especially children and adolescents, and there will be many problems and its negatives will be more than its positives if it is not dealt with properly
I think that metaverse would be a great platform for us to improve in many different ways. It will help us to connect with people easily and we can make our own individual creative world using metaverse. It makes impossible things possible,for instance meeting your friend or a relative who lives in other state or country virtually.
Hi easygoing_rock,
You have identified some good advantages of the metaverse. Can you think of any disadvantages?
The metaverse is a virtual space that has various advantages like serving as a platform for communication of individuals that are far apart to helping in medical advancements. But we should also look at its disadvantages that the metaverse has like being a platform for potential bullying, harassment and assault, and also being to expensive for people to afford.
Disadvantages of the metaverse are
⭐It makes the relationship far
⭐It destroys our emotions
⭐It can enslave is
⭐It makes us forget our realness
⭐It does not fulfill our basic needs
Here I listed out some of my own opinions.
Disadvantages are :
Reasons for addictive behaviour, high cost of equipments, it's proven to online bullying, assaults .,etc. It may also cause privacy issues to the user.
Thank you for answering my question - and good job on identifying some disadvantages! Now, can you think of anything we could do to make those disadvantages better? For example, how could we prevent addictive behavior, or online bullying in the metaverse?
🔺We can monitor and limit our online habits.
🔺Set time limits for usage.
🔺Using applications that can limit your time online.
🔺we can use cyber security to stay safe while using metaverse.
🔺For our own security we must not share any personal information about ourselves while interacting with others in metaverse.
These simple steps can protect us from addictive behaviour and online bullying.
In life, everything has its pros and cons, and the Metaverse is one of them. Let's start with the advantages: 1. Expanding the imagination of its users 2. Easy communication between relatives and friends
3. Bullying is not allowed
4. It works to broaden people's horizons, which helps them live the virtual experience in a more realistic way.
.. Now let's start with the shortcomings
1. Its users lose the ability to communicate with and interact with the real world.
2. Loss of contact with the physical world
3. They're so addicted to the Metaverse that they spend all their time in it, that they don't even acknowledge the real world
4. Ease of stealing and taking any personal information
And Thank you.
I really want to see how a metaverse is although I think the metaverse will change the world and make it better because of its technology and advanced places. In a metaverse people could go to places that you can't go in the real world. I also think it's a bad thing because some people would behave the same way they behave in the real world for example, some people will want to fight with others steal from others and bully others, so i think the metaverse will have both good things and bad things.
In today's world we have both good and as well as bad. But the thing is which we take. As same is Metaverse. In contains positive and negative too.
WHY METAVERSE IS MARVELOUS?
It is marvelous because, through this the learnings become easier. And the scientists can produce advanced medicines for new diseases. It is the collection of technologies so we can gain knowledge. And it also an great place to become a new version of ourselves. And it also contribute to the country's economy. Because of this technology we need not to travel far away for visiting some places.
WHY METAVERSE IS MADNESS?
Metaverse is madness because, the people become addict for this Virtual world. And it also emits greenhouse gases which are harmful for the Earth. For this Metaverse there are no specific laws. Use of this leads to Cyber sickness. And some specific things can distrub the mental health of a person. And the rate of Physical communication goes down. The travel of a person from place to place decreases so, the workers based on travel business may face loss. Too much use of Metaverse can affect the studies of students. And the eye sight may be affected because of this. It also leads to the extinct of physical touch. Due to no laws regarding Metaverse our privacy?
To solve these issues some laws have to bought for the users of Metaverse. At the same time it should also ensure the privacy and safety of a person....
These are some very interesting points ambitious_wildcat. How do you think individuals can get the best balance when using the metaverse?
How to keep the balance between the metaverse and the real world?
As the virtual world is becoming more real and accessible, there is a risk that people might spend more time in the virtual world, forgetting the real world and their responsibilities in it.
Diversity
Virtual worlds must focus on diversity of their citizens. Without diversity, there can be no cure for a fragmented world. Thus, we must create metaverses that reflect the heterogeneity of the world and promote positivity in celebration of humankind’s richness. We must also protect users on our platforms while providing digital identity solutions that promote trust while allowing the full spectrum of self-expression.
Is metaverse good or bad? This depends on the person using it, are his intentions good or bad.
But in my opinion I think the metaverse is a good thing,very good infact. Metaverse has the potential to redefine every aspect of our daily life lives, from healthcare and education to work, commerce, and recreation.
The metaverse is an incredible idea, but there are almost no boundaries which dampens one's excitement to experience it.
I feel rules should be made on a charter between countries and the owner, designer and creator of the metaverse.
Ofcourse there must activities that cannot be portrayed in the metaverse and so there must be a limit to activities that are carried out on the metaverse.
I think the metaverse can be a good thing if we deal with it with wisdom .Doing good things,meeting and dealing with good people for cultural exchange,developing our skills, and developing our critical thinking.
On the other hand, it can be destructive if we deal with unreal characters who aim for cheating or doing bad things.
To conclude, we should have awareness with dealing with others
In my opinion, we cannot say that it is good or bad because it has its good advantages, such as that we can communicate worldwide and get to know new friends from countries other than our country. We learn from others' cultures and customs. It enables us to get acquainted with new information in all aspects of life. We can use it for teaching in pandemics, as in 2020 during the Corona pandemic, when the study system was changed from schools to e-learning.
But it has its bad advantages such as associating with bad people on the Internet, impersonation, stealing personal information, and insecurity while watching and delving into the virtual world and forgetting the real world.
I am sure that the metaverse will be good for the world.And Iam so excited to live in the future and see the metaverse take over us all.
Metaverse advantages are more than disadvantages , To communicate with different people from differnt cultures is AMAZING.
Yes,I am fond of the virtual world,but l live with my real world successfully
According to me Metaverse is really a great idea!!! I am more excited to implement Metaverse in our day to day life cause Metaverse is all about opportunities and great ideas ,imagination, development, exploration and many more so there are many benefits for the individual all around the world because they can acquire great knowledge and can become their own developed versions, they can also adopt them self to the developing technology all around the world .So Metaverse is really a great idea to execute because people can learn ,explore and it can make their lives better !! and they can have great future opportunities so we ough to adopt ourself to Metaverse technology.
Metaverse *cool, or mad*
Metaverse is a double-edged sword
harmful or beneficial
If we use the metaverse well, it becomes wonderful, great and important.
One of his virtues is to attend international meetings, matches and scientific lessons without attending them.
And if we misuse the metaverse, it becomes insane, addictive, and filthy.
Among its disadvantages: family disintegration, lack of convictions, and no satisfaction in daily life.
And because we have a mind with which we can distinguish between right and wrong, why do we not make good use of the metaverse because the metaverse was invented for important purposes, not in order to use it for what is not useful.So, The secret of metavers goodness or madness is our mind.
Interesting thoughts courageous_flight, thank you for sharing. Let's imagine you are in charge of the metaverse for a moment; what is the first thing you would do to ensure it is put to good use?
Personally, I will make sure that the metaverse is a place where people can feel safe because a safe environment will be productive and it will dispel all thoughts of the metaverse being bad and all those that will want to use the metaverse to do corrupt things like cyberbulling, scamming and so on
I personally admire how far technology has brought us in terms of things like faster, easier communication and more realistic video games, among other things. Although they appear to be exiting, let's consider the cons right now.
As it has become more usual to expose children to mobile phones at an early age and as they begin to grow up with the technology at their fingertips, they are able to access things that were not intended for them . Imagine introducing them to a completely new world with little restrictions.There won't be any guarantee that they'll develop an addiction.
If the young person enters a virtual world like this for even a brief time, they would lose awareness of their surroundings.
Long-term use of this kind of technology would alter a person's psyche.They could become addicted to the virtual world and isolate themselves from the real world's realities.They could get detached from bonding, true friendships, and real emotions. They might develop social anxiety and become uneasy around friends and relatives.
The metaverse ' s advantages are more than it"s disadvantages.
I'll talk about SIX benefits that the metaverse offers to colleges and universities
1_Make educational resources affordable
2_ Enables students performance
3_ Makes virtual interactions more like real ones
4_ Increase accessibility for remote students
5_ Attracts young demographic
I think metaverse will be Very good
for the world because ,The metaverse will help take learning and discovery to a new level. People will be able to learn by doing and not just absorbing information, diving into new topics and experiences and deepening their knowledge through 3D immersion.The Metaverse will gives us opportunity to create our own world and make us to learn our favorite things,And Many People doesn't have required money to visit favorite places but through metaverse we can enjoy the places .So I think metaverse is good for the world
'Is metaverse a boon or bane?' The realistic answer would rely on the use of metaverse.
We can use metaverse as a platform to test the processes before hand, like a trail before performing surgeries, a try- out before an extremely dangerous evacuation missions, or even as simple as trying out a new suit or dresses.
But every coin has two sides.
Metaverse only shows people what they want to see, it can potentially be addictive to people and it becomes a way for them to escape reality.
We can't guarantee the protection and security of people. Because we can't verify every user who share the metaverse with. It also cause bereavement of one's indentity.
The use of metaverse lie in the hands of the metacitizens. On the good side, it becomes a great tool to advance the knowledge and experience. while on the other side, it becomes a potent transgressive weapon.
Certainly, I am very confident in the importance of the Metaverse program and that it contains many skills that will help in scientific progress and the ability to communicate very well by talking to other important people outside your circle and region, and it will also make the world interesting and contain more fun
The metaverse is more useful than I thought because the metaverse can help you go to school when there is a rain storm or lock down or if you don't have enough money to pay your school fees and transport to the school.
In normal school, you sit down in one class while in the metaverse you can be all over the world learning. It is like an online class that you can be inside (immersive), in the metaverse you can walk around and even exercise. In a real school the teachers can make mistakes but in the metaverse there are computers, artificial intelligence running it so they have access to a wide range of accurate information.
If you are a type of person that doesn't like to socialise you can use the metaverse to go to places you want to visit without actually going there. The metaverse can even teach you how to socialise by using the artificial intelligence as a practice partner teaching you how to listen and how reply nicely. You won't feel lonely and you will have someone to do things with.
I agree because... Those that don't like talking much are always attached to their gadget and it could be either positive or negative. Positively,is to discover the potential on oneself while negatively, it could be used for dubious act.
Hi..
Yes, I got to know him, he is very
interesting and Exciting .
I knew a lot about the Metaverse. 🧐what does it mean?
🧐 It is a virtual ecosystem for communication, expression and interaction. Where it consists of:
A lot of technologies such as augmented reality, virtual reality, artificial intelligence, and other applications.
It can be one, two or three dimensional.
And it is evolving every day, all over the world 🌏 and it has benefited humanity as it has led it to the best way to communicate and express. The world has contributed to its development for decades, and efforts have combined until the present time.
Since the past decades before the eighties of the last century.
The idea was present in the minds of thinkers, creators, and authors from different countries, professions, and races. .
Some of the thinkers have authored novels such as Breaking Snow by Neil Stephenson, who introduced the name Metaverse.
It was full of philosophy, software and technology.
🧐 But where is the Metaverse and do we use it in our daily lives?
🧐 And has it made our lives easier for us?
🧐 And does the mobile phone have anything to do with the Metaverse?
Yes, the use of a mobile phone that allows us to express our opinions on social media platforms, or that you have watched TV programs that have accompanied us since childhood.
All of this and more contributed to the development of Metaverse, and efforts have come together from the 1960s until 2000-2010, as institutions and consumers adopt Metaverse.
Using this technology for financial criminal purposes such as: market manipulation and the possibility of electronic attacks and breaches. 🧐 Who should make the laws for what happens in the metaverse? Who should first set the laws for these apps through privacy policies. And the government should set penalties for those who exploit the metaverse for their personal interests. And those who do illegal work in metaverse should be banned from all metaverse applications that exist so far. I have many questions: 🧐Is the metavirus made for or against humanity, and is humanity using it for its own good or for its own destruction?
🧐 What about the future generations who are attached to the Metaverse and should we warn of the dangers of the Metaverse in it?
🧐 We conclude that the human mind can create everything and that failure is the beginning of great successes that the world has not witnessed before, but can we educate future generations who are almost entirely drawn towards the effects of technology and the luxuries it offers?
The metaverse can help be a bit harmful to those who have a hard time sorting reality from fantasy. Some people might feel overwhelmed when they move back into the outside world because it is a different reality from what their life is in the metaverse. Yes, it is good that the metaverse allows people to have a bit of peace from the real world by being in the metaverse but what if the metaverse becomes a comfort place to someone that wants to escape the real-world to the point that they do not want to leave it. Options for restrictions in the metaverse may prevent this problem.
You do an excellent job of thinking from other people's point of view.
Metaverse has generated both excitement and concern. Some see it as a new frontier for entertainment, education, and commerce, while others worry about its potential to exacerbate existing problems like addiction, privacy violations, and inequality.
There are certainly benefits to the metaverse, such as the ability to connect with people from all over the world, experience new things, and create and explore digital spaces that are not possible in the physical world. It could also provide new opportunities for businesses and entrepreneurs, allowing them to reach customers in new ways and create innovative products and services.
However, there are also potential downsides. The metaverse could be addictive, taking up more and more of people's time and attention and creating social isolation. It could also exacerbate existing inequalities, with those who have the resources to access
and participate in the metaverse benefiting the most, while others are left behind. Privacy and security could also be major concerns, as people's personal data could be vulnerable to theft and abuse.
Ultimately, whether the metaverse is marvellous or madness will depend on how it is developed and used. If it is designed with a focus on promoting human connection, creativity, and well-being, and if measures are taken to ensure privacy and security, then it could be a positive development for the world. However, if it is driven solely by profit motives and is not properly regulated, it could end up doing more harm than good.
The metaverse has the potential to be a revolutionary technology, offering a wide range of benefits to users. With its immersive and interactive nature, the metaverse could transform the way we work, play, and communicate.
One of the key advantages of the metaverse is its ability to create new opportunities for connection and collaboration. By allowing people to interact in virtual spaces, the metaverse could help to bridge cultural, linguistic, and geographic divides, bringing people together from all over the world. This could lead to new forms of creativity, innovation, and problem-solving, as people from different backgrounds come together to share ideas and work towards common goals.
In addition to fostering connections between people, the metaverse could also offer new forms of entertainment and education. With its immersive and interactive nature, the metaverse could provide users with experiences that are not possible in the real world, such as virtual concerts, art exhibits, and museums. It could also provide new opportunities for learning, with virtual classrooms, simulations, and training programs that offer a more engaging and effective learning experience than traditional methods.
Another key advantage of the metaverse is its potential to enhance productivity and efficiency. By allowing people to work and collaborate in virtual spaces, the metaverse could eliminate many of the physical barriers that currently limit productivity. For example, it could allow people to work together on projects without having to be in the same physical location, reducing the need for travel and other logistical challenges.
Overall, the metaverse has the potential to be a powerful tool for positive change, offering new opportunities for connection, creativity, and productivity. While there are certainly potential risks and challenges associated with this technology, with careful planning and consideration of these issues, the metaverse could be a transformative force for good in the world.
Metaverse is marvellous because it is very easy but it is hard in the real life and it will be beautiful world inside and we can play game as we can't do in the real life and we can see the real world so it is very useful
I am really excited to see the changes metaverse will do in the world. Metaverse will really be an efficient and effective way to explore more and learn new things. It would really be amazing if we study or learn about a topic by viewing it virtually. It will help us to easily understand about that particular topic. Metaverse will really make amazing and helpful changes in terms of study sector. It also increases the curiosity to explore more and more around the world. We can develop our knowledge and skills. It also makes it easier to interact and collaborate with people around the world. People can visit their dream destinations and places and it would really be helpful especially for old age people and also physical disabled people.
You point out a lot of positives about the metaverse, especially relating to groups like the elderly and people with disabilities. What groups of people do you think may not benefit from the metaverse?
I think the groups of people that may not benefit from the metaverse are young children and youth . Because if they visit their dream places with the help of metaverse and viewing it virtually they may not feel the real experience that they get when they visit that place physically. If they do their daily activities and works from home they will not have the enough experiences to survive and will be really difficult to face the real world. And also importantly if the young children do their schooling from home they won't have the ability to get attached easily and interact with other students and won't have the experience of team work and helping others when they are in need. It may also increase social anxiety.
According to my personal opinion, I came to an answer.
Blind people won't benefit from Metaverse, as the number of blind people in the world currently reaches "45 million", with "90%" of them living in developing countries.
Although I am still a student, I reject this idea, the idea of a metaverse, where there will be inequality in this matter!!
I agree because... the metaverse does not cater for the blind, the deaf and the poor all over the world. In order for them to go to the metaverse they must spend a lot of money in order for them to reach the metaverse.
It was interesting to read that you believe the metaverse does not cater for the blind or deaf. Could you develop a way that the metaverse could be more inclusive and what this might look like?
In my point of view, the metaverse is madness, because we may have to lose our own nature and the metaverse will not give us food. It can't be able to satisfy our hunger and we can't express our emotions. So, in this way, I think this was madness.
You draw attention to the fact that the metaverse doesn't fulfil some of our basic needs. In what ways to do you think emotions are different in the metaverse?
Well, i know many of us may be afraid of frauds, cyber bullies and people who aim at traumatizing or hurting people via the metaverse and we hold that as strong disadvantage but what if there was a way to curb that problem. I was thinking about the way this platform operates, the fact that each individual has the grace of two strikes and once you get the third your account is band. What if the metaverse operates similarly 🤔, each individual is given the grace of two strikes, if an individual commits an offense, he is warned and given a strike if the same individual commits another offense, he should be tried by the cyber judiciary, if he cannot defend himself he should be given another strike and he should be placed in a cyber jailed whereby his account will either strictly restricted from certain rights or suspended totally for a period of time depending on the nature of the offense committed, if the same individual commits another offense he should be tried by the cyber judiciary and if he is found guilty he should either be placed on probation for a certain period of which he will not be aware of or he will be band with no return that way, we will be able to deal with those people. Also i was thinking maybe the way the prerogative of mercy operates in the real world could also be applied to the metaverse. If an individual does something worthy of plaudits he can be given a pardon that way people will be able be redeem their selves.
The metaverse connects the world, people separated by distances can meet face to face in the world of the metaverse, and you can get a fun and interesting experience in this world by meeting new friends, people and new players from all over the world, and the metaverse works as a trump card for major companies specialized in technological fields such as Samsung, iPhone and Apple by competing to make high-quality virtual impact glasses
It is ahead of all other companies, which makes customers buy it more than the rest of the companies, and the metaverse can also provide job opportunities for the unemployed and many other positive aspects, as for the negative aspects, the more friends and acquaintances you have, the more exposed you to cybercrime, there may be bad people who make friends or (victims) may hack your devices down to personal information and also you can become addicted to it and we may reflect negatively on customs and culture.
Metaverse is a virtual area that can lead to the development or destruction of society. It has many positives and negatives. Among the most prominent positives: It works to develop the user's ideas and expand his intellectual horizons, through which he can learn about the customs and traditions of other peoples and use it in leisure time, invent devices and creativity in his life and many others And a lot, and as for its negatives, it has many negatives, the most important of which is the disintegration of the local community and isolation from the real world. It can help the development of society because I think Metaverse is a great platform and from my point of view I think it is an evolution
I also excited to see the metaverse world. It is useful for us like playing games with everyone across the country and can interact with everyone . But at the same time it is bad for our eyes. When we use this for a long period , our eyes will start to pain and also we will addict to that world , this will cause health issues and we will forget our natural world. We will not interact with real friends. So i would say that how much it is good same as well as it is bad .
I believe the metaverse has advantages and disadvantages. This can vary depending on what platform you are on. One one hand, when seeing aggressive actions in games, people tend to reflect that behaviour with other people. Additionally, you can become to fixed on the game and become antisocial towards other friends. On the other hand, children and adults can interact with other people and a main topic, news, can be found from the internet. You can research things which could build general knowledge. So, what would you do: have to much of the metaverse or too little of it?
Great question accurate_atom!
People should not abide by the same stundards thet exist on reality in the
virtual world,as they are two different worlds, but we have to put in place deterrent and specific laws to separate these two words , so we only reach astate of addiction that may affect our reality and the government should cooperate with experrs in the virtual world and enforce them to be safe for everyone
I think that the metaverse is madness because
1) it pollutes the planet with all of the amount of electricity
2) it makes life way too easy, you can be a famous doctor in 20 mins
3) your self-esteem in the real world will be hard to accept, since on the metaverse, you can change your body, and you can't in real life
4)the screen time will augment, and people won't be able to do the difference between the real world and the online one
Sure, it is a good idea for socialization and for visiting new places, but I would prefer to cherish these moments in the real world.
Which of your reasons is the most important, imaginative_squirrel?
The most important reason is n°3 because it's consequences could be that the person could become a good victim for bullying, would fell left out etc...
The metaverse could have different sides. They are many questions and the topic needs to be explained better. For example, in the metaverse, could you get some money? Would you be able to use in real life? But the metaverse, could improve science and technology. They are still problems that should be resolved. In the metaverse would your avatar get older. Will it die at a certain age! This project kind of make me panic because I think it could totally go wrong. People could say bad things to other people. What would happen to them? I have one last question. Who would “own” the metaverse and would they be different metaverses?
Good question! Who do you think would "own" the metaverse?
I think that the metaverse would be owned by his/her creator and a group of helpers.
I have a debate idea : "Would it be a good idea to have a ruler of the metaverse ?"
In my opinion, no, because that person would be way too powerful and it would be pointless. He will have to be elected, have a parliament, and that would take an awful lot of time. Someone also suggested a representative of each country, which could be a good idea.
There are many people who believe that the metaverse has the potential to change the world for the better. Some of these people include:
Technological optimists: These are people who believe that technological advancements will always lead to positive outcomes. They see the metaverse as an opportunity to connect people, provide new and exciting experiences, and create new economic opportunities.
Business leaders and entrepreneurs: Many business leaders and entrepreneurs see the metaverse as an opportunity to create new business models and revenue streams. They see the potential for creating new virtual products and services that can be monetized.
Gamers and enthusiasts: There are many people who are excited about the prospect of a fully-realized metaverse, especially those who enjoy gaming and virtual experiences. They see the metaverse as a place where they can explore new worlds and have unique experiences.
On the other hand, there are also people who are concerned about the potential negative consequences of the metaverse. Some of these people include:
Privacy and security advocates: These individuals are concerned about the potential for personal data breaches, hacking, and other security risks in the metaverse.
Critics of technological advancement: There are some people who believe that technology is causing more harm than good and that the metaverse will exacerbate existing societal problems like inequality and isolation.
Skeptics of new behaviors: There are people who are concerned about the potential for addiction and other harmful behaviors that could arise in the metaverse. They worry that people may become disconnected from the real world and develop unhealthy dependencies on virtual experiences.
Do you think everyone within these groups of people will feel the same way, dazzling_buffalo? Or might you have made some generalisations or assumptions here?
I feel the best way to start creating ground rules is by making it general, causing or making others try to adjust their way of life to one that suites the general rules (which approximately 64% people would do).
Can you explain where you found this percentage please, educated_nation?
I did the calculations myself
Depending on the country and its ability to adapt and its flexibility.
Metaverse madness? I believe the metaverse is marvelous and that it is crazy to think you can be in the UK yet see and talk to avatars/people in Australia the other side of the planet.
I believe the meta verse is an incredible thing and possibly one of the craziest yet awesome inventions of mankind. In a world where you can almost be and do anything it does have some major I believe. Putting on a VR headset for too long can damage your eyes and people are getting addicted to the virtual world. As well as that it makes cyber bulling easier and that happening could hurt someones feelings. In conclusion I think the metaverse is both marvellous and medness.
Every one knows that metaverse has its own advantages and disadvantages . We should be positive and look at the good side..
Metaverse helps technological development to jump a huge steps toward technological progress and achieve distinguished success in every aspect of life.
In medical field.nowadays and via metaverse. professional doctors operate critical surgeries for patients who are along away from them .
Educational field .students could discuss their master thesis or Ph.D certificate through metaverse .
The metaverse mainly affected the Communication field .it transfers people from place to place to see .talk and chat with other people in another place.
The electric trade is anew branch at the Commercial field . In a short time it spreads and controls the international markets..
Concerning me and my colleagues we had a simple experience with metaverse. that happened through the journeys prepared by our school. we went to different parks. At these parks there is a room called cinema. we sat down .we put 3 diagram glasses.and watched. Movies .they are sometimes scaring .funny or imaginative.
I like theses experiences because we were away from our world.
I hope in the future.the education ministry make educational programs using metaverse covering different parts of curriculum. For example science.geography and technology. Where we can watch difficult scientific experience or travel to valleys and mountains.
I think this way will be very beneficial and effective .
So I believe.metaverse is a marvelous device.
Based on what is happening in the real world, we cannot give complete freedom to the users of Metaverse and those who work with it. This is a great danger that will make the real world a mere thought of people because of their frequent sitting on Metaverse (the virtual world). Metaverses with experience and very high efficiency and scholars of the benefits and harms of Metaverse Report the laws and violations that Metaverse users are held accountable for As for whether the metavirus is good or bad, it is good by making people make amazing progress in medical, scientific, artistic and cultural technology. As for it being bad, it is used in an unregulated manner and exploited in bullying and other things. Of course it is bad.
This is an interesting opinion - please could you expand on how you think people may make the real world a mere thought and the implications that this could have?
What do you think the metaverse will be most useful for? Do you think there is a way to combat the negative use of the metaverse?
Metaverse is a virtual space where humans experience life in ways they could not in the physical world. I think that metaverse will be good in some condition and bad in some condition why because it would be a more accurate representations of physical objects in the virtual world, it also makes learning better for students which would create a new avatar and make virtual representation of models in virtual world to teach them and also reduce expense for many firm because training and teaching can be done through metaverse. It can also reduce travel as we can see the world through metaverse which results in reduction in carbon emission. There are so many disadvantages with the metaverse because it creates addictive behavior in using this. But when we use this feature, it reduces travel which affects the business of those people who depend upon tourism. Many countries depend upon the revenue from tourism, it rapidly reduces the income of that country. When people use metaverse it creates lot of health-related problems too such as eye strain, headache etc.
I liked what have been said above regarding using metaverse in health care ...it's really important.Metaverse can create value for health sector in multiple ways, including improving access to care, enhancing the accuracy of diagnostics and the quality of surgery, and reducing costs in care delivery, medical training, and data management.
What do you think is the most exciting example of the metaverse used in health care so far?
I believe that the metaverse will be useful to the world because it will be created using your imagination and creativity, which means that almost anything can be created using the metaverse. It indicates that the internet will be upgraded to a higher level.
This is a very positive opinion, what would you use the metaverse for, if you could create anything?
From my personal opinion, I see that the metaverse is a wonderful thing, through which we can get to know many cultures and learn about them, so we can form friendships from around the world with different cultures. Imagine the amount of information and studies that we can do through the metaverse. We can visit any place in the world through it. It is wonderful Very, but the metaverse may become a bit negative by using it negatively or frequently. A person can isolate from the world because of it and forget the real world, its culture, its friends, and everything. We have to use it correctly.
I believe that Metaverse is a good and important thing, although it has negative aspects, but it improves our social relations. The Internet is a vast and virtual world that has pros and cons, and we are in control of that. For example, one of its positives is that it is a means Easy contact making means contact It is quick and easy and makes the world like a small village. Among its drawbacks is also the bad and inappropriate use and excessive handling of it. Therefore, I recommend using it properly and properly.
I agree that it is a balancing act. How do you think we can ensure it is used properly? How can we mitigate and reduce the negative impacts?
The metaverse can be a remarkable place as it will connect people to advanced experiences and also allow them to try new things which cannot be done in the real world, for example: as candid_keyboard mentioned' the sensation of flying'. And also , with the metaverse students all over the globe can engage in virtual classrooms, have access to similar learning materials and interact with each other.
Honestly , i feel metaverse is a good place but i think there should be tight guidelines put in place to ensure the safety of the users just so to avoid cases of cyberbullying, security issues, addiction and also simulator sickness(a form of motion sickness linked to interaction with a simulated environment)
In my opinion, Metaverse is no different from other modern devices, as they are all double-edged weapons and have pros and cons, We can develop our lives if we are keen on using them correctly, We can even create meetings and attend lectures in home without the need to use transportation to move around, and in this way we can also save time,But if we make a mistake in using it, it will be like poison that spreads in the body and kills it, because it may be a cause of addiction for some young people who enter virtual reality games in Metaverse, such as the challenges games that spread three years ago. And many young people became addicted to this game, and with each level the difficulty of the challenge increased until it reached a level of difficulty that made some young people commit suicide, so I think that Metaverse may happen with it as well Also, one of the results of the wrong use of metaverse is excessive preoccupation with it and ignoring reality and real relationships in life Also, the possibility of the emergence of a group whose contribution to the advancement of society will be reduced is also high.
I think the metaverse would be bad for the world because the even though we may say that the metaverse is the physical world's 'Digital Twin', twins are not exactly the same, even the ones that are identical. The metaverse may look and function the same way as the real world, but the way things run are not. In the real world, you buy something from a real human so that they get money. Same thing for the metaverse, it functions the same. But what about the people who don't use the metaverse. People are going to get more attracted to show in the metaverse that people who work in physical world shops don't get paid. People aren't earning as much money because AI is doing what humans do to make money.
This is also bad because some of the rules that keep the physical world in shape do not apply in the metaverse. People will start to think it is ok to run red lights and steal in real life because it is ok to do that in the metaverse. People can become more greedy because they are so rich online that when they come back to reality they expect to be rich and have everything they had on VR. There are many pros to the metaverse, but there are also many cons that are dangerous too.
I think it will be difficult to manage people in the metaverse in a way that people will want to live their own lives and on top of that other people will insult others which will not be good. It will be unfair to the poor because they don't have enough money to manage to reach the metaverse and some people will not have the knowledge to reach metaverse .
idealistic_bilberry Can you expand on why will people insult others and why some people will not have the knowledge to reach the metaverse?
I think it might not be judged on the same standard because people's behavior in the metaverse May not be the same as in the real world who used not to steal in the real world may steal in the metaverse and that the government May not think about it because metaverse is not even the real world
Do you think having different standards for the metaverse and the real world could cause problems?
No.
If the standards for the metaverse is higher is than the real world it would cause problems but just a few.
According to recent study, most of us already spend much of our lives online 6 hours and 42 minutes per day on average. But according to Zuckerberg, “The next platform and medium will be even more immersive. An embodied internet where you’re in the experience, not just looking at it. And we call this the Metaverse. And you’re going to be able to do almost anything you can imagine.”
In my opinion, metaverse is marvelous. Though it has some disadvantages if we choose a right path nothing will harm us.
Advantages of using Metaverse:
1. Affordability of Experiences:
The Metaverse will immensively increase the affordability of a wide range of experiences and products, giving poor and middle-class people access to luxurious previously only available to the wealthy. Just like the internet has given much of the human population access to vast libraries of knowledge and entertainment, the Metaverse may allow most of humanity to virtually experience world travel, high quality interaction with family members stuck in distant countries, and so on.
2. Creation of New Possibilities:
The Metaverse will also introduce new possibilities that don’t currently exist at all, even for the ultrawealthy. Right now, nobody can have a high-quality virtual experience of traveling to distant solar systems, or the center of the earth, or past eras of human civilization. But after a few more years of rapid VR development, most of humanity may have access to these experiences.
This will have more than mere entertainment value. “Let’s say you’re a med student or a doctor. Would you prefer surgery from a surgeon trained in today's medical schools, or one who has practiced his or her skills thousands of times in highly realistic simulations?
3. Sustainability:
By giving us new and often more efficient ways to achieve our goals, the Metaverse will be a huge boon for sustainability. By attending workplaces, schools, and social gatherings virtually rather than physically, we will save precious resources. “Dropping our daily commutes will mean less time stuck in traffic and more time doing things that matter,” Zuckerberg points out. “And it’ll be good for the environment. Actually, if you travel for work, and working in the Metaverse means that you just take one less flight each year, that’s probably better than almost anything else that you can do for the environment.”
4. Social connections:
Users can expect not only to have new experiences in the metaverse, they'll also be able to share those experiences in real time with friends, family or anyone they want, as if they're together in the real world.
I dont think the metaverse headset will be good for the future because than the person will get to addicted and than he or she is gonna play everyday and all day than the person not gonna know enjoy the outside world than if you have alot of screen time you gonna have damage to your eyes and it can make your head hurt if you play to much.
I think the metaverse could change the world for the better because people in countries with restrictive governments, such as China or the UAE, will be able to access information that they previously would not have been able to. But alternatively, I think that the metaverse could be used as a tool of mischief. The internet normally is already filled with misinformation, and having a whole interconnected system that allows the ones who misinform to get direct access to their audience. This could cause widespread havoc as it can be used to manipulate politics, opinions, consumer decisions, etc,. The Metaverse has the potential for so many possibilities, both bad and good.
What do you think could be some of the good possibilities?
Expanding imagination and expanding human horizons and helping him to live the virtual experience in a more realistic way, living an immersive experience mixed with pleasure, connecting the world, eliminating physical distances, better social interactions via the Internet, and new and different job opportunities. Promoting and consuming products and services using new marketing and advertising strategies, virtual storefronts, offers, interactive participation and customer service and the development of online learning and teaching.
I am very excited to see what future technology brings us and how we can interact with people from all the way across the world,Imagine what it would be like to see and be friends with people from all over the world?You could have connections with people from all the way in Nigeria.This source of technology (Chromebooks) is also allowing me to see what other people are writing and allowing me to talk and give advice for other peoples comment.
I think it's good and I agree that's its good for the world because I play vr and it's a new experience.I also think it's good because it's a new way of learning and playing mini games.you could also increase your skills on your abilities.
The potential of the Metaverse is amazingly vast and exciting to witness. But the number one question everyone always asks is, "can it be good or bad?". This question does not have a straight answer. The answer is in a severe grey spot with no hope of being answered until the future is here. The internet we have right now is extremely convenient in so many ways. Just imagine having a friend or friends from across the world. This is the possibility in which VR gives us. VR, or Virtual Reality allows us to play games and just socialize with strangers from around the world. But this all isn't just kittens and rainbows. It can actually be really dangerous if hazardous health problems come from VR or even leaked information that can possibly lead you to a person's location. We cannot forget about Cyberbullying, and if you're too busy making friends through text, your ability to socialize in person may drop. There's really no telling how this may end, it all depends on the person.
I think the metaverse will have both cons and pros depending on how you look at it. If you look at the pros you'll be able to have friends all over the metaverse and be able to learn new things about how to improve the earth and contrast and compare it to a healthy planet. You would also have the advantage of high degree freedom to do things you wouldn't or can't do in real life. The con would be having many people who cyberbully and disrupt your metaverse. Another con would be if someone were to hack into your metaverse and keep destroying your work and ideas. Being in the metaverse for a long time could get you addicted and you would rarely do any real world exploration, making you not able to meet your normal daily needs.
I believe that the metaverse can be bad because it can make people less hard working and make people lose current skills. People could start to confuse what's in the metaverse and what's reality, which is very unhealthy to humanity. The skills people can lose are getting work done, social skills with actual people around them, exercise, etc. The metaverse can take over humanity by making people lazy since everything is more accessible in this virtual reality, though this is can be an advantage as well since more things can be easily learned , though sometimes the metaverse or internet related things can be invalid and people wouldn't be aware of it people nowadays believe most things on the internet will not actually have solid backing information, but people don't put realization to it. I'm aware that there's fun things to this, advantages, etc but this loses touch to communication, actual knowledge, and any other skills that people can do for themselves.
It sounds like you have concerns about people losing certain skills. What skills do you think they may lose?
"The metaverse offers a new way of interacting with the world, one that is more immersive and interactive than anything we've experienced before. It has the potential to change the way we learn, work, and play. And as more people join the metaverse, its impact will only grow.However, with the metaverse, you will be able to travel virtually anywhere in the world simply by strapping on a headset"
In my own opinion,it's just simply a place in the internet that's gives us that ability and opportunity to carry out some activities which we do not have the chance if doing in reality.
The metaverse is a really beautiful thing, because it's the thing that has made the world a small village with shared opinions close together, however
I see it as the only method mothers use to calm their babies. We are now calling on parents not to give the mobile phone to children because of the negative aspects that happen to it, such as feeling lonely
Now, if we compare two children, one of whom uses the mobile phone and the other, we do not find that the one who uses it has no involvement in society and with children. Children also love to explore and look at everything. When he uses the mobile phone this distracts him and prevents him from living his childhood. He becomes lonely and does not want to play with children. This does not build a good future for him, and this is other than diseases such as destroying the mind. I suggest that parents be made aware of the seriousness of this
Metaverse is both marvelous and madness because when people see marvelous things they get madness .For ex :When people see a new marvelous online game with HD video quality and many other comfortable facilities which are needed for a online gamer .So while using or seeing marvelous things they get mad so people get both marvelous and mad while using Metaverse so this accepted by people all around the world .
Will the metaverse be good or bad for the world?: The potential applications of the metaverse extend far beyond the medical field. In fact, many industries could benefit greatly from this new technology. For instance, the metaverse could revolutionize the education industry by offering immersive and interactive virtual learning experiences. Students could attend virtual classes and interact with teachers and peers from all around the world, regardless of their physical location. Additionally, the metaverse could also create new opportunities in the entertainment industry, allowing people to experience movies, concerts, and other events in a fully immersive virtual environment.
Moreover, the metaverse could have a significant impact on the business world by creating new opportunities for remote work and collaboration. Companies could use virtual environments to conduct meetings, conferences, and even product demonstrations, saving both time and money. Furthermore, the metaverse could also open up new avenues for e-commerce and marketing, allowing businesses to create unique virtual storefronts and immersive shopping experiences for their customers.
In conclusion, the metaverse has the potential to reshape our society in countless ways, and its impact will likely be felt across a wide range of industries. As this technology continues to develop, it will be fascinating to see how it transforms our world and creates new opportunities for innovation and progress.
The metaverse has its disadvantages. Many children experience health problems when spending too much time with the metaverse due to hurtful comments, cyber bullying and their appearance in real life. I would like to touch on the last statement. Many people can select avatars when playing games. These avatars can be constructed to one's personal way and these usually come out as what the person thinks is the " ideal body". When children see such perfect bodies and beautiful characters, it makes them question their own appearance thus making them insecure. Everyone is beautiful and these children should remember beauty comes not only from the outside, but the inside as well.
I think it is right for people to spend money on the metaverse compared to the real world because the metaverse is part of technology and the technology helps them to earn money for a living.
I disagree because what if you cant AFFORD IT
I think in the metaverse it might be more or less difficult to manage people's behaviour in the metaverse compared to the real world because in the metaverse people may be able to virtually visit wherever they want in the metaverse while in the real world people may not be able to virtually reach wherever they want.
Will the metaverse be good or bad for the world? Whenever I think about this question I get stuck in the middle. I think that this is a question that doesn't have a direct answer. The metaverse has its advantages and disadvantages.
The Metaverse is a super cool device that enables us to do things virtually by just wearing a VR set. This device helps us a lot because we can interact with people from different places, we can go anywhere in the world, and we can even play games. Teachers can even have virtual classes with their students through the metaverse, this helps very much with the child's education because his or her full attention is on what the teacher is teaching due to the child wearing the VR headsets.
Even though the metaverse has a lot of good things to offer us, it still has its disadvantages. When you are playing games or interacting with people on the metaverse, a lot of people may start to talk bad about you or start to bully you, which can make you start to develop some mental illnesses. As I said you can go anywhere in the world with the help of the metaverse, however, if you keep on using the metaverse to go to places people who have their work associated with transportation might not get a lot of money because people have decided to go to the places they want to through the metaverse. Moreover, the metaverse is very expensive so not a lot of people might be able to afford it.
I have pointed out some advantages and disadvantages of the metaverse, however, if you want to know if the metaverse is good or bad for the world there's no direct answer. Whether it becoming good or bad for the world depends on how we use it.
The metaverse is more secured than the internet because the metaverse only takes you to where you want to go unlike the internet it shows you different thing other than what you want you want to see and this is more unsecure so parent can entrust their children to the metaverse.
I believe the metaverse will be beneficial as it will open both job opportunities and technical opportunities, such as virtual teaching and VR infrastructure.
I believe that the metaverse will be good for the world because their will be more opportunities, new technology and more adventurous places to visit but also at the same time it would bad idea because prices could go up and behaviour would get worse . I also think that any person who is disobeying the rules should be band from using metaverse platform so that the platform doesn't become a bunch of people disobeying the rules and nothing happens to them for doing what they have done. Introducing metaverse to the world will be a great achievement because it will give everyone the opportunity to visit places out of this world.But, problems in our real world like cyber bullying also is in the metaverse. Finally, it makes impossible things possible,for instance meeting your friend or a relative who lives in other state or country virtually.
What I am wondering is if the metaverse will make introverted people extroverts or make extroverted people introverts.
It can increase the potential of introverts to become extroverts as they get to envision themselves in situations out of their comfort zones but at this same time, extroverts can go through emotional trauma as a result of the metaverse which causes them to belong to a rather confused state, and because of this they separate themselves from all sorts of peer interaction; what used to excite them wouldn't anymore.
A little personal experience; we just went into lockdown and so the use of the metaverse was a MUST. In the use of this, I saw some vulgar comments and all that. This experience made me feel extremely convicted and I found myself become more "mean" and harsh.
What I'm trying to say is that too much good becomes bad and everything has to be done in moderation and filtered for those at a young age. I personally would want those good old days where the digital world didn't really matter and we'd go outside skipping rocks, riding bikes to everywhere and dancing in the rain carefree. That's the world I want for me and my future kids, the one where family was #1 and those sentimental words and gifts actually mattered (non-materialistic world).
The metaverse is one that shouldn't have existed, in my opinion. All this trouble, pressure, the crime rated and desire for materialistic things could've been avoided.
I believe the metaverse, in the greater scheme of things, will cause more good than harm. Firstly, the metaverse will allow people from foreign lands to have a greater level of interaction than what would usually be possible. It also opens up the ability to work virtually, and explore virtually aswell.
I think the Metaverse will be very cool because through it I can get to know a lot of new friends. I will be very ready to face the Metaverse. I will be happy to have him.
I feel like the Metaverse will be a very good thing to make, if everyone joins the metaverse life would be easier and you could do much much more than you can in real life and you could meet more people that you wouldn't meet in real life😀
Good:
It builds your confidence,helps your imagination and makes you beleive you can do anything.
Bad:
It could mix reality and the Metaverse up:
.You could fall of a cliff while thinking you will fly
.You could ride a cat/dog and think they are dragons
.You could hit someone with a stick while thinking it's a lightsaber
These reasons seem to suggest people might loose a sense of reality? Does this happen with video games?
To be honest it's kind of freaky knowing how smart tech has become! Though it would make hanging out with
friends a lot easier but it would make cyber-bullying a lot easier as well. Personally I think it would be cool to try out!
l disagree because if metaverse took over, everyone would just get addicted it it and start having the habit of not playing with their friends
How do you know everyone would be addicted?
i feel like the metaverse will be cool because if you are embarassed to speak to people in real life you might not be embarassed to speak to people in the metverse😃
I think that the Metaverse could be a good idea because it would help you to use your imagination and be more sociable and it looks really fun! and it could be a bad idea because someone could hack it or do something to ruin it
and it could just be a window to cyber bullying. either way, I think the metraverse will be a hit.
I think if the future and the present meet each other i think they will fight ahd complan. If they don't they will maybe the future will be very fun. But if you play all day you will maybe will very happy.
I thenk that it is god and bad god becos you wil have fun and talk to your frends bad becos your eys will be in the brit scren for to long.
i think the meta verse will be bad and good because it is fun to play but if you were shooting in the game mabye you will start shooting in real life
THE METAVERSE WILL BE VERY COOL BECAUSE PEOPLE CAN SPEAK TO EACHOTHER EVEN IF YOU ARE IN DIFFRENT COUNTRIES😀😃😄😁
A bit like what is happening here!
it is good you can skydiv and fit dragons all day and you can do more stuf
the metaverse will be good and bad as it'll be like starting again at life but those "global friends" could mentaly hurt you and when you go back to the real world you might feel more lonely than ever.
the meteverse will be good for the world because life and be boring a lot of the time and on the metaverse u can just teleport to diffrent universes and do diffrent activitys
If you are an introvert in real life and you have a vr headset you could change your life in the metaverse and possibly have higher confidence and creativity and make friends with people from different countries
I think it will damage all sense of the real world for people,but,on the other hand,we get to meet other friends and make new ones.I don't know!!!????
Do any other student comments help you make your mind up?
I think the Metaverse would be good and bad,bad as it could rot the brain and good as it could build happiness,trust and confidence:)
I think the metaverse is n0t bad 0r g00d I think it is 0kay. I think it is 0kay since y0u can g0 0n it for a sertan am0unt 0f time so you d0nt get addictied 😀
it is to much electronics and the scren can hert your preshos eys,s
I think the metaverse will be pretty good for shopping and socialising but some people may lose sence of reality beacause they will spend too much time on VR so they probably won't pay their bills and they may starve to death so it will be good and bad to have the metaverse
:]
I think the metaverse is going to help the world since it helps people communicate with vurtual reality.And they can express themselves without being judged.
I think it is good because it will help your imagination grow and you will have loads of fun I also think it is bad because you can feel like your sky diving of an airoplane but your actually falling of a cliff!
it would be really fun and you would be able to do stuff you wouldn't be able to do in real life. what if you were obsessed with a book series like how to train your dragon? in the metaverse you can actually train a dragon! that would boost positivity. :) or >:( ? I don't know.
The Metaverse is really risky due to the fact that anyone (including hackers) can access the almost infinite virtual world. Meaning you could meet sketchy hackers making your online life a ruin!
I think the metaverse will be a good thing because it will give other people who dont have huge chnces in life to expirience them in the metaverse and have a good time
My only thought about the Metaverse is that there would be a massive outbreak of crimes in the poorer countries as they (assuming that the police and such forces are also using the Metaverse) will not have the money to afford this technology, and will not be stopped.
my opinion is that I think the metaverse could be good for children or teenagers if it is used for educational purposes. But it could also be used for your own entertainment and that's okay as long as it's not bullying or doing something else bad.
I really want to try use a vr headset to see if it increases are IQ level and some fitness but if its just video games i think they should add some teaching so that alot of people will get it and youll be having fun and lerning but also so it will make you want to go to parks and run around and it might be the same as the vr headset and it will make you want to learn and get some fresh air quite alot and it will make you want to learn loads then youll get a good job just beacause of the vr headset
And also that people may get extremely unhealthy and lazy from not needing to go outside at all or even leave their home.
Another possible con of the Metaverse.
I think that the metaverse could be used to teach people practical skills without risks and danger.
Personally, I think that the metaverse will be a big step for the world, all this technology can help buisnesses, shopping and maybe even schools, but on the other hand, people could become lazy as they would just use the metaverse for everything, so there are many perks and cons of the metaverse.
It would be exciting to see the metaverse become a virtual reality but I think that buisnessses and educational stuff would be more useful than playing games, they should play in their spare time and learn or work in other times. If people are sick or unable to work they could have online meetings, even if you are ill or not, it will be a chance to make new friends and socialise with others such as family and friends.
If your family or friends lived on the other side of the world, you could celebrate for special occasions, watch tv together or play. So in conclusion, the metaverse would be marvelous.
Great weighing up of the pros and cons.
my only thought about the metaverse is that poor countries don't have a school to learn and it will be unfair because they won't be learning anything and how would you feel if that was you they should lower the prices down so everyone can learn and be educated.
I don't think that metarvers will change the world to be better because people might become lazy.
How might people become lazy?
in my opinion if the metaverse is not being taken care of it will bring a great damage, what do i mean......... i mean that that the idea of a world without rules may sound exciting and full of fun but user that are full of trouble can bring issues for other users and can make certain privileges unsafe to use like games or some service. this is why i think that parameters should be place like the use of abusive language or user impersonation if not, it will the experience unpleasant for other users.
I'm sorry but I think the Metaverse is crazy!God gave us planet "Earth" to live on,why would anyone want more? I do think that children playing Minecraft is good for there creativity and everything,but to have people spending 8 to 10 hours a day in a fake reality is awful.These people are not getting exercise,there mental health would probably decline and they would loose the sense of what's real and what's fake.The Metaverse can increase "Cyberbulling" and "Catfishing",but the Metaverse is also dangerous with people able to visit secret ares such as the White House and listen to conversations and see things they shouldn't see.Im sorry but the Metaverse IS madness!
Hi, selfreliant dragonfly.
I partially agree with your point, however, the metaverse was created to help us in many ways, even though it has some disadvantages. On your point that you said that the metaverse is crazy, I deeply disagree with you because the metaverse is not madness, it's technology. The metaverse is a very cool and exciting technology that can help a lot of people. The metaverse can be a big advantage for teachers because if they engage students virtually using the metaverse, the students will be fully engaged and not get distracted so easily. However, I do agree with the point where you said that due to the metaverse people will not get exercise, because being at a specific place for a few hours and not doing anything will affect their mental health because one of the main things to do to stay mentally healthy is by exercising, moreover, they will start seeing illusions and might lose the sense of what's real and fake. That's why I think the way to solve this issue is by having a limit of usage on the metaverse, therefore, in a day a person can use the metaverse for three hours. Finally, I would like to address your point in which you said that the people who created the metaverse want something more than the Earth, well I would disagree with you because I think the creators of the metaverse have created something that might help a lot of people. As I said, even though the metaverse has its disadvantages, it will help the people who can't travel by allowing them to go to places virtually, it will fully engage students when in a meeting virtually, etc.
it would be splendid to watch the metaverse grow as more people will have access to the virtual realm. But what possibility comes with the power of augmented reality?
Point 1. I think that more people should be able to access vr so almost everyone can experience the world through technology. This would be a great technological advancement in the case that people who cannot go to these places can experience this joyous pleasure.
point 2. i think this would be bad because video game developers may be able to re code the simulation and make it so it is not enjoyable for anyone. criminals may also be able to study places so they can commit crimes more efficiently. This means more people will be disadvantaged when it comes to the metaverse. but overall would it really make a difference?
in conclusion, the metaverse is a great place to make good friends and enjoy your free time but is it as great as it seems?
I think the positives of Metaverse are more than its negatives because it helps to expand the imagination which differs from the reality which banishes boredom It works to expand the idea and horizons of man That helps him live the virtual reality in a more realistic way, but of course it has drawbacks such as: The impact on digital technology and the exploitation of some data.
I think that the metaverse could go both ways with the world. Sometimes the metaverse can be good for the world because it can still be a way that other people can still interact with eachother and meet new people. The metaverse can still be bad for the world because there can still people who might lose track of time and be late for things.
I think that the metaverse can both benefit and not benefit
In my opinion, I think that the metaverse may be good.
Can you say your main reason why, fascinating_rambutan?
If it doesn’t make the internet obsolete, it will certainly alter how we experience the internet, with the advent of Web 3.0 bringing a far more decentralized world where individuals have increased control over how their time and data are used in the digital arena. Cryptocurrencies and decentralized finance will allow people and organizations to work more freely from regulation or the control of large corporations, with smart contracts connecting partners more directly in work agreements.
This increased freedom will also create entirely new jobs, some of which we can’t even imagine right now, and produce new revenue streams for businesses and individuals alike. During the pandemic, for example, Axie Infinity, a new play-to-earn game, provided work to people in the Philippines while stuck at home during lockdown. Over 2.5 million of the game’s users were based in the country at the time, with each able to earn between 155 and 195 dollars per month from around 2 hours per day of gameplay. It may not sound like a lot, but for these families, it was a crucial amount of money when they had no other way of earning.
The world of work
As well as creating new jobs like this, the metaverse for business will completely change the way industries are run. During the pandemic, we already saw a huge shift in day-to-day operations, with remote work expanding massively. For many, this has remained post-pandemic as companies realized some of the benefits it brought. Metaverse solutions for business fit perfectly into this new world as it offers big improvements to remote collaboration. For example, teams of experts based in different locations can come together in a metaverse space to work on prototypes for new products before manufacture begins. Metaverse companies have already developed technology through which several workers can interact with a 3D virtual object in real-time from different locations, removing any issues geography might have previously caused for effective cooperation. Meta is also working on a supercomputer called AI Research SuperCluster to help develop the metaverse further through the use of deep learning algorithms. One potential application of this will be to enable real-time translation of different languages within virtual meetings, facilitating interactions between people without a common language.
Such technologies will affect many industries. In manufacturing, digital twins have already helped car producers to optimize their facilities by running simulations of different setups in the metaverse before implementation. Such business solutions for the metaverse save both time and money but also improve safety as potentially hazardous situations can be run through in an environment where nobody can actually get hurt. These benefits are also being felt in the healthcare industry, for example, allowing expert surgeons to work precision robots and perform remote surgeries in foreign countries. Eventually, almost every sector will be able to find ways to improve their operations through the metaverse.
The metaverse will alter the structure of education. By choice, students may or may not physically attend a university – i.e. they will be able to attend university classes in the metaverse. Regardless of their real-life location, teachers and students could meet up in a virtual space through the virtual reality headset. However, with the metaverse, the teacher can meet with the students irrespective of the difference in location. A more interesting feature of the metaverse is its ability to, alongside audio, show an immersive 3D environment. This exciting feature does not only help in teaching, but it also improves assimilation since it provides a serene, virtual, academic environment.
Everyone is raving about all the potential benefits of the metaverse – but there is a darker side, too. Here are seven potential downsides to the metaverse. The promises and possibilities of the metaverse are enormous – and many companies are developing apps, products, and services to help develop the metaverse and to serve its users in a more immersive digital world.
But there is a darker side to the metaverse, so we need to look at some of the challenges this incredible technology will bring.
Here are the seven biggest challenges of the metaverse that I see right now.
1. Privacy Issues
The metaverse is the next version of the internet, and we use technology like augmented and virtual reality to immerse ourselves in the digital world. With all this digitization comes privacy challenges.
We already have privacy concerns when we browse the web. The technology that is already tracking our behavior online will also exist in the metaverse, and the tracking is likely to become even more invasive and intense.
For example, VR-headsets will include eye-tracking technology, so marketers and advertisers could potentially see from our headset data where exactly we are looking in our immersive experience, and for how long. This is a marketer’s dream, of course, but is a major concern to anyone who is concerned about their privacy.
Companies will also be able to monitor our physical reactions as we link to wearable and haptic devices that measure our emotions and physical reactions. Enormous amounts of data could be collected and used by companies for marketing or other purposes.
2. Protecting Our Kids
As parents, it’s already difficult to track what our kids are doing online, and that challenge will continue with the metaverse. Understanding what our kids are doing in the metaverse will be even more challenging, because we can’t see the world they’re looking at in their VR headset, and there is no process in place for monitoring their screens using tablets or phones.
3. Health Concerns
VR “hangovers” are a known phenomenon, and people can also experience post-VR sadness. When we have experienced an amazingly immersive world and have to come back into the real world, it can make us depressed and sad – and the more incredible our immersive experiences become, the more people will struggle with this.
Internet or gaming addictions are already a big problem for kids and adults, and getting hooked on spending all our time in the metaverse could be an even greater problem in the future.
4. Access Inequality
In order to use augmented reality, we need the latest smartphone and handset technology, and VR experiences require high-tech, expensive headsets as well as strong and reliable connectivity.
How can we make sure that everyone in the world has equal access to the metaverse, and not just the people who have the most money and live in advanced countries? We will need to come up with plans to increase access to the metaverse as these immersive experiences become more and more important.
5. Metaverse Laws
Can a virtual act be a crime? The metaverse will bring regulatory challenges and will introduce new gray areas in many laws.
For example, if you are in virtual reality and you are wearing a haptic suit, and someone in the virtual world touches you without your permission, how is this different from an assault in the real world? We will need to face these regulatory challenges as technology advances and thorny legal issues emerge.
6. Desensitization
Many people will be playing violent games in VR, where you can touch and feel what you’re doing. These immersive experiences will feel very real and could lead to people becoming desensitized to their behaviors. In a game, if you are shooting a gun at someone or strangling that person, I believe there is a real risk that people will become more likely to replicate that behavior in the real world due to VR desensitization.
7. Identity Hacking
In the virtual world, we will be using avatars – and it will be possible for people to hack our avatars and steal our online identities. If this happens, the hacker could pretend to be you and could wreak havoc in your virtual and real worlds.
We must focus on security in the metaverse and find ways to verify identities and avoid deepfakes, to reduce VR-related cybercrime.
Clearly, there are a lot of potential problems with the metaverse, and many issues that we need to think through (and potentially regulate) as this technology evolves.
The metaverse being good or bad depends on the people who are using it.I think that the people establishing the metaverse should also side by work on educating about the dangers of it and technological advancements should not only made on the handy options in the platform but also safety options to ensure this I think how government's have departments for checking food quality and giving it certain standards like FSSAI approval in India -so that people could know which food items are safer to use;though there is a department for ensuring cybersecurity there are no approval procedures which are very strictly followed may be an approval seal named as SP(secured platform) could be allocated for platforms so that people could know which ones are safer to use.
The responsibility for making the metaverse a good space for those who use it ultimately lies with the developers and operators of the metaverse platforms. They have the power to create and enforce policies, guidelines, and rules that govern user behavior and interactions within the metaverse.
To ensure that the metaverse is a safe and inclusive space, these policies should address issues such as harassment, hate speech, and discrimination, and include measures to prevent them from occurring. Platforms should also provide resources and support for users who experience negative experiences or incidents within the metaverse.
However, creating good space in the metaverse is not solely the responsibility of the developers and operators. Users also have a role to play in shaping the metaverse into a positive space. They can contribute to the development of community norms and values, promote respectful and inclusive behavior, and report any violations of policies or guidelines to the appropriate authorities.
Honestly, I feel it is a shared responsibility between the metaverse developers and operators and its users to work together towards creating a safe, inclusive, and positive environment within the metaverse.
I think the metaverse is balancing on a pin. It could become a place where people get to enjoy the world more, but it could end up being a hub for abuse and violence.
Having MetaCommittee, MetaCoin and MetaPolice would really help both universes, reducing corruption and unemployment. The MetaCommittee would be made of two elected representatives and would be the Government. The MetaCoin would be a global cyber currency (like the Bitcoin) but which stuck to the metaverse. The MetaPolice would be a police force for the metaverse, making sure the laws decided by the MetaCommittee were carried out effectively.
This would mean that people would get the most out of the metaverse, as well as furthering the physical world. Although we shouldn't get too carried away with the metaverse and focus more on the problems in the real world, solving two in one would be brilliant.
On the other hand, the police in the real world are already not trusted. It's easy to deceive people online, so the metaverse would not be an ideal spot for million-strong police force. This would lead to corruption and abuse, making the metaverse a scary place which lost plenty of potential. Throwing a perfectly good idea out of the bin like that just to take a risk isn't a good idea. Also, people could take advantage of the qualities of the virtual world - you post something and with a click of a button it will disappear.
All in all, it could go either way. However, with the right disciplinary measures, it should work out fine. And even if the police force does fail, well, the remains would be salvageable.
The metaverse can also be a disadvantage, as it also causes addictive behaviour what I mean by that is through using the metaverse over and over again, the brain and the person eventually begin to depend on that experience to feel good, and eventually to feel normal. In other words, the person has become dependent on it and becomes addicted to it.
I can not personally decide if the metaverse is good or bad because it will surely help to improve on the job opportunities for thousands of people , help to connect people for different parts of the world, enable people to experience lifelike amazing experiences and improve on the technologies and developments of the world. We also need to remember that the metaverse has many downfalls that some many consider to be more worrying than the uplifts , the metaverse is going to cause about increased cyberbullying which will bring about depression and anxiety, its is also most likely to bring about many health issues to people, the cost of the equipment is going to be quit high , privacy of people's information is at a great risk while using the metaverse since no one knows who is in control of the system , it is also to cause addictive behaviours in people and lastly people are more likely to neglect their real life all in the pretence of this fake imaginary world{metaverse}
I think that the metaverse is both good and bad depending on how people use it. It may be good for people who want to use the metaverse for educational opportunities and enhancing their learning experiences. For those who chose to use the metaverse for socializing and entertainment, they will be more at risk to the negative effects such as cyberbullying
The metaverse will be good because it will increase confidence of the introverts and promote democracy.
It will be bad for the societies that have taken their culture as paramount due to introduction of new behavior that might contaminate the culture
I would like to share our current situation with the internet where we can just watch videos and images on the screen about what we are searching for. But metaverse is something different in which we can feel that we are in a new world. What is metaverse? Metaverse is a space that uses virtual reality and augmented reality compose them and create a new world which would be a lifelike experience with help of internet. Current scenario is we can talk with our friends through call, text and even video call but in metaverse we can create our 3D avatar in metaverse and speak with our friends in virtual world as same as in real world.is we can talk with our friends through call, text and even video call but in metaverse we can create our 3D avatar in metaverse. With the metaverse we can easily shop on online websites like amazon, flip kart just like how we select dresses in real world, we can join any program, concert or any international matches of our favorite team by just clicking the join button. We can create a new world according to our need in metaverse. Trekking, hiking, travelling to many places can also be done with metaverse. We can also time travel back to the years like visiting Jurassic age and also to king dynasty. But there are many disadvantages with metaverse. It would create addictive behavior among people as humans we are socialized but after metaverse is introduced it will psychologically affect human. Even it creates loss of business to people who were dependent upon tourist business as we can use metaverse to visit many places in virtual world. I think that metaverse would be a madness to the real world, but if we use this technology in an efficient way to teach workers or employees how to do their work in a best way which will considerably reduce additional expenses to management of the industries. This technology can be introduced into the real world with some limits and procedures, which would be a great idea.
In the metaverse you can explore and interact with so many different people from all around the world. In the Metaverse you can play many and different types of games and explore other parts of the metaverse. In some of these video games you can interact with other people and you get to work with other people. Overall there are so many places you can explore and play many games with other people from around the world.
I wonder if the metalverse is good. I know it's been a virtual world to explore. But is it actually worth it?
In the metaverse you can meet people from around the world. Because of this you can learn about many types of cultures and learn different types of languages. In the metaverse you can develop friendships with other people from around the globe. There are so many things you can do in the metaverse and you learn many new and interesting things.
I think the metaverse has both positives and negatives. The positives being that people can communicate and socialize with people around the world and are able to see more culture and not just stuck with people from the same area. The negatives are cyberbullying, and people could be hurt by that, as the people who bully have a wider range of people to hurt and can get away with it easily. Addiction could also ruin their mental state, always wanting to be online and forgetting about their health and wellbeing, and not looking after themselves properly.
I think the Metaverse is a really cool concept and a great experience once it is kept under control and everyone is safe.This technology would have been really cool during COVID,everyone could have gone on a virtual holidays but not many people know the amazing facilities in the Metaverse.The Metaverse can allow people to visit amazing places and experience amazing things.
But there is some risks such as cyberbullying,people spending hours and getting no exercise and people visiting private places such as the White House or Area 51.The Metaverse can be very helpful to teachers and helping with kids creativity.But ....I don't think people should be able to communicate with other people in the Metaverse ,to make such no Cyberbullying can ever happen.Cyberbulling can make a fun thing a scary thing for some people
I believe people should control the Metaverse and people should only be able to access certain areas in the world and barrier out any government buildings eg The White House.I think the Metaverse is really amazing and is a great addition to technology .
You make an interesting point about not letting people explore certain buildings in the metaverse, selfreliant_dragonfly. How do you think it should be decided which buildings should be blocked from public entry in the metaverse?
I think the Metavers is good for the world but not too overuse it
I Think the metaverse is madness.It is unsafe, dangerous and too extreme.
Can you explain why you think this?
I think the metaverse will be both good and bad because the metaverse is a cool idea but how it'll work in practice is still to be decided
we need to set guidelines about the metaverse. Such as No Comunication with others unless you have them as a friend.No going to personal places such as other peoples homes.
I think the metaverse will be good on the world because students can find new ways to learning and getting educated, I also think it would be good to have global friends from all around the world
I think the metaverse is a great thing but it has its bad sides aswell. I personally LOVE!!! the vr and the metaverse i think it's so cool how realistic it all is.It blows my mind that its so realistic. It's such a magificent thing. whoever created this is a GENIUS!!!!!
Metaverse, in my opinion, is wonderful because it made our world more exciting and made us able to reach others wherever they are, and also made our world like a game in which we seek professionalism and success, and makes us strive to develop societies and make them more interconnected, and this is a positive reason for Metaverse ✨
I believe that the metaverse would be madness, although it is exciting to consider how it will evolve, I don’t believe that it will change the world. For the better anyway. It’s true that it will continue to advance; increase socialising and online shopping. But is this really the best choice for the future? A whole world dependant on technology? I don’t think so, we should be embracing our surroundings, talking to people face to face and feeling the thrill of trying on clothes in the changing room. Nothing beats real, face to face experiences.
Don’t get me wrong, this new age of technology is benefiting so many people around the world. In fact I’m sure that around 70% of the people I know would say that technology has improved their life. Online shopping makes everything more accessible, social media apps make it easier to communicate and virtual reality can replicate real life situations; this can be used for job training!
Although it has its benefits, it also has its consequences: decrease in mental health, struggle sleeping, constant exposure to blue light and decline in physical health too.
Overall, I think technology is useful, but I would not want to see a world so full of it.
The metaverse can be a great way to make some money. In the Metaverse you can sell things such as NFT. You can even create a store in the Metaverse and sell avatars and create games. Not only can you have fun in the Metaverse you can also make some money from it.
The metaverse can be a great virtual reality experience. You can watch sporting events, and concerts. When you create an avatar in the Metaverse you and your friends can explore parts of the metaverse and play so many different games. If you buy different types of virtual reality devices you can make you experience in the metaverse so much better.
I believe that the real world is the hardest to deal with, only it is better than the virtual world, because the virtual world poses a great danger to our children and adults.
Augmented reality works on inserting content or placing it in the real world using several devices such as: a headset, a smartphone screen..... and others.
While virtual reality, people think that it replaces the real reality, and this is a negative thing on the real reality

Metaverse is marvelous! It is possible for companies to establish their offices in the new world and operate from there. By properly maintaining and skillfully constructing offices in the virtual world, one can significantly reduce the associated costs. It is now possible for individuals to complete their work from home while still maintaining a professional office atmosphere. By leveraging virtual communication channels, vendors operating in physical stores can significantly broaden their customer base and boost their profits. In addition to selling products in the real world, they can also extend their reach to the virtual world, where they can connect with a wider audience and increase their sales. This approach can help them tap into new markets and stay ahead of the competition, ultimately leading to greater success and profitability. As human beings gain more opportunities to explore different parts of the world, it is expected that the tourism industry will experience significant growth. This flourishing industry is set to benefit countries across the globe, as it contributes to the creation of jobs, economic growth, and the promotion of cultural exchange. The Global Climate will benefit a lot! It is worth noting that tourism plays a significant role in contributing to global carbon emissions, accounting for approximately 8% of the total. With the virtual world, it can be reduced to a great extent. In the realm of the digital world, individuals have the opportunity to indulge in the luxuries in life without causing any damage to the surrounding natural environment. This remarkable aspect of the virtual world can offer a significant benefit to the delicate balance of flora and fauna in our ecosystem. Although there are many benefits of this very remarkable world, there are many issues of security and awareness. Security issues such as identification and cyberbullying are major problem along with a problem of police officers. Which world should the police officers protect? The real or the virtual world? What if there are wars between countries again in the virtual world? Will the tourism industry in the virtual world even benefit due to less awareness of the virtual world? What if schools are made in the virtual world? The absence of authentic interaction between teachers and pupils would constitute a major disadvantage for students. Will parents even agree to send their children to virtual schools? There are many disadvantages that we need to investigate very deeply before entering the virtual world.
How do you think you might use the metaverse in the future to enhance your daily life?
Well there has been several breakthroughs in the technological world. The entire idea of the metaverse is very brilliant. The metaverse could actually help people learn a lot faster with realistic experiences thanks to the availability of 3D immersion. Metaverse can impact our daily lives in diverse ways such as:
1. The metaverse, though it is still developing could really help in the medical sector. It could assist in attending to patients and carrying out various operations. It could also be used to create replace body parts. Bionics are advanced pieces of technology that could be integrated with various parts of the body.
2. The metaverse could also help people to perform various tasks even when they are not there in real time. People could go grocery shopping from the comfort of their rooms or attend a conference from another country.
The metaverse could help in self expression. AI art is becoming a very popular way to create art even when you have little or no knowledge about art.
4. It could help us to meet new people. People could create their own avatars which they could use to interact with other people from around the world. An example is Axie Infinity which is a metaverse game that has cute characters which people could use to interact.
5. It could also ease all the tedious work involved in our everyday life. For example, Internet Of Things. IOT enables physical objects to interact with each other and send information. Imagine your coffee maker sending a message to your phone that it has run out of coffee and reminding you to stop by the grocery store. This could help reduce the stress of people and put them at ease.
I can use the metaverse in the future to enhance my daily life:
1. You can travel anywhere in the world simply by strapping on a headset. When you physically visit a destination, you will have access to guided augmented reality tours that will enhance your travel experiences and help you learn more about the destination.
2.The metaverse can help the potential to transform many aspects of society, including how we work, learn, and socialize. It could potentially become a platform for a wide range of applications, including virtual reality gaming, education, business meetings, social networking, and even virtual tourism.
3. It could give users easier access to doctor visits, shopping, work, and styling.
4.The virtual worlds of the metaverse will increase teleworker camaraderie, improve collaboration, speed up training, reduce the need for office space and make work a happier place in general.
5.The potential to overcome barriers to education, such as geographic location or socioeconomic status. Students from all over the world could participate in virtual classrooms, have access to the same learning materials, and interact with each other. This can help in the future to avoid any barrier in education. 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). I feel like this will really help a lot in the future even as we run our daily lives without much travelling or moving from one place to another.
Metaverse in the future can be used for enhancing our daily lives.
1) Shopping will be easier as people can try out clothes and other accessories from the comfort of their homes and maybe become a replacement for online shopping platforms.
2) Risky Jobs such as Loggers, Oil Rig Workers, etc.... will no longer be risky jobs with the development of the metaverse as they can explore and analyse the area and the atmosphere and other factors around it before entering the real grounds.
3) The Virtual World can become a testing ground for nuclear bombs and other lethal weapons. 1 bomb with a yield of 1 megaton would destroy 80 square miles. Therefore, the problems such as water contamination and other issues can be solved and the land undestroyed can be utilized for agriculture.
4) Tourism can be expanded and travel to other countries and domestically can be simplified through the virtual world. Travel expenses will be reduced and cheap travel could be possible. It will also benefit the environment of our planet due to less carbon emissions.
The metaverse will help take learning and discovery to a new level. People will be able to learn by doing and not just passively absorbing information, diving into new topics and experiences and deepening their knowledge through 3D immersion.
As a gamer, the metaverse can also improve my gaming .The Metaverse is inherently social, providing players like me with a socialistic environment where I can build relationships with the elements around me. Multi-player gaming will take on an additional dimension as I can invite friends from the real world, interact with other players, build relationships.
Social media has often been blamed for the rise in loneliness and depression among teenagers. On the other hand, the Metaverse has the potential to provide a safe and controlled environment for teenagers to interact with their peers and make new friends.
All in all, I feel the metaverse will be marvelous.
I think that the metaverse could exasperate the current problems with technology.
A big problem that people dont think about is that you need a lot of knowledge to innovate in this space: you need to know a programming language that can achieve speed and efficiency; and languages like that are generally hard to learn (e.g. C++, Rust).
This means that most people will end up being consumers instead of innovators; This could lead to differences in power in the world. People who understand how 3D works, and how to make content in the metaverse will be hugely more powerful than people who dont.
I think that this is an issue because it might force governments to restrict creativity. The internet is quite unrestricted now, but it will make it even more obvious with the metaverse. And im not comfortable knowing a big company handles all my data. I dont want ads in the metaverse.
As stated by Unbiased Buffalo the metaverse can be a great source of practice for gamers. Thanks to all the multiplayer games that the metaverse has gamers can play with other gamers to increase their gaming and team cooperation. Gaming in the metaverse can also increase creativity which can help people in games such as minecraft.
I think the metaverse will be good for the world because it will increase the ability to socialize with others around the world, metaverse can help children who have difficulty in education to socialize with teachers and professors to help their education become better and give new opportunities to young social workers. Metaverse can help young physicians and surgeons test out the effectiveness of new surgical methods in the metaverse before attempting them on real patients. The metaverse can teach people to protect the environment and how to reduce their carbon footprint by showing them the benefits of planting more trees, recycling plastics and using waste as fertilizers and compost for new seedlings 🌱. Metaverse can provide information for doctors and nurses to help save patients of different illnesses. Isn't this not marvellous.
The metaverse has the potential to radically change how we work. The investment bank Jeffries recently said that the metaverse will be the biggest disruption to how we live that the world has ever seen – and financial firms are looking at the metaverse as a huge potential opportunity in other to get money.
But there is all an advantage to all of this if you search for "dinosaurs" on Google, you can see augmented reality versions of your favorite prehistoric creatures right in your room. You can also watch immersive concerts in Fortnight or dive into the world of avatar-based dating. It helps us to see the world in different dimensions.
Hello👋🏻👋🏻
➡️First: We do not deny the usefulness of the virtual world to the real world, for example: there are many people who suffer from phobia of heights, and want to try the air parachute, but they are afraid of heights, so they use virtual world glasses to live this experience.
⭕Some people consider the virtual world good, and I support them in this matter, and I will mention the reasons that make me a performer that the virtual world will change the real world, and it will be a new experience, from the reasons:
1️⃣- The virtual world facilitates some things, such as: There are many people who do not have enough money to travel, so they use virtual world looks, and open videos about the experience of flying and traveling, and other experiences.
2️⃣- The virtual world saves money, for example: instead of going and buying a ticket, traveling and paying a lot of money, for example, I try the balloon once, in return I buy glasses The virtual world and try the balloon several times;
3️⃣- The virtual world maintains the health of the body, if a young man wants to play free jump (or rather parkour), it exposes his body to injuries and danger; so virtual world glasses help to avoid these risks and damages.
⭕ Some people consider the virtual world dangerous for several reasons, including:
1️⃣- Cause weakness; to see from the frequent use.
2️⃣- Take away children's time without benefit.
3️⃣- Consume a lot of electricity and the Internet.
⭕ But from my point of view, the virtual world is very useful, and I mentioned those reasons above👆🏻👆🏻
And here I have finished my comment, but I do not say goodbye to you, but I tell us a new meeting 🤗👋🏻👋🏻
I feel that the metaverse is a marvelous creation and can be used in many amazing ways now in the present and in the future, but the metaverse is not being and taken care of properly . For example, metaverse users in our time make videos or play games, but what are these people saying and doing while doing this? The definition of metavers is a virtual world that is facilitated by the use of virtual reality and augmented reality headsets, but is the verse getting used for this reason? There are millions and millions users on the metaverse, and about ¾ of them use fake age, name, or even fake profile picture. Most users do this to meet the age requirement of an app or to be a different age to associate with other users. The part that is even worse is that most metaverse users are not doing this to benefit themselves, they are doing it to fit in with other metaverse users so they don’t seem weird compared to other users. For example a girl might be 13 but act 16 to become friends with a group of users older, but the girl does not want to be friends with these people, she is just doing that because her friends do the same thing. The world and metaverse is ever evolving, resources to stop this are there at hands but leaders and creators are not paying attention to these problems. For these reasons stated, the metaverse is a beautiful marvelous place of AI, but the metaverse is no being used and taking care of properly.
Will the metaverse be good or bad for the world?
In my opinion I think that the metaverse could be bad and good at the same time here's why. It could be bad because kids could be too focused on the metaverse that they don't focus on school or their chores. It could also be bad because it could be a bad influence for people especially kids. It could be good because people can experience cool things and go on different adventures. It could also be good because some stuff can have a good influence on people.
The metaverse is a relatively new concept that refers to a virtual world where people can interact with each other, play games, and do other activities. Some people think it's marvellous because it offers endless opportunities for creativity, socialization and exploration. Others think it's madness because it could potentially lead to addiction, isolation, and loss of real-world connections.
For example, imagine being able to attend school or work in a virtual world without the need to physically be there. That could potentially save time, money, and resources. On the other hand, spending too much time in the metaverse may lead to neglecting important real-life relationships and responsibilities.
Another example of the metaverse's potential is experiencing new places and cultures without leaving your home. You could tour a museum in Paris, attend a concert in Tokyo, or explore ancient ruins in Rome all from the comfort of your own room. However, relying solely on virtual experiences may inhibit real-life experiences and limit personal growth.
The metaverse has the potential to offer incredible opportunities for creativity, exploration, and socialization, but like any technological advancement, it should be used responsibly. It's important to strike a balance between virtual and real-life experiences to ensure healthy personal development.
