Wow, what a time warp that article was. I see many parallels between Zuck’s Metaverse and Bill’s information highway. You can try to predict what the future devices will look like, if the idea is already there, but it’s not cohesive enough to make a winning strategy.
- ok123456 4y agoBill didn't invent the 'information superhighway'. That term was coined by Al Gore in the late 70s. By the early 90s it was a pervasive 'meme' used to obliquely refer to the sum of all the available electronic information services. Its cultural currency and relevancy went to zero once everyone had an instantiation of a computer network they could access be it AOL, MSN, or the wider internet. Zuck tried to create the Metaverse out of whole cloth. The thesis is just keep doing what we're already doing, wasting time online, but let's add in some augmented reality and VR headsets!
