This is a huge ignorant rant and expresses the anger of the unknown that is coming and anger for missing out. For every new technology there are always articles condemning them. People are resistent to change and that has been proven.
- Jasper_ 5y agoYeah, not sure what the author is talking about. Once he tries the Segway, he'll know it's the future of transportation. Anything else is FOMO FUD.
- arisAlexis 5y agoHow many world thought leaders said the segway is the future of transportation? None. How many for metaverse? Quite a few.
- Jasper_ 5y agoSteve Jobs said cities would be designed for it... Jeff Bezos said everybody would have one...
- drvdevd 5y agoI wouldn't call it an ignorant rant per se, unless the author has not spent much time in an Oculus headset. I had a dev kit in 2013, forgot about it and now have a Quest 2. Will it take over the world? I'm not sure yet but it is a breathtaking improvement in the past decade IMO. If I had a sufficiently advanced, light headset, that could mimic all the functions of my smartphone in VR/AR, I can tell you I would ditch my smartphone and probably never look back. So it's a rant but I'm not sure what about: has the author spent much time in VR lately? Is it Zuckerbergs idea of VR in terms of the sci-fi fictional "metaverse" that bugs them? I mean the author could be right about this being a flop.. but I'm not sure who it will be a flop for - us or Meta.
- arisAlexis 5y ago"The absurdity of it makes me want to scream, or maybe die, or maybe just spoon out the part of my brain that knows what an NFT" this fits the definition of rant I would say.
