The "web" also doesn't sound so appetizing, esp. for people with arachnophobia. At least it is short. "Internet" is a rather technical sounding name. Metaverse?

The "web" also doesn't sound so appetizing, esp. for people with arachnophobia. At least it is short. "Internet" is a rather technical sounding name. Metaverse? For people who want to be all meta? Or subjects of Meta? Once you get used to a name, it doesn't sound so strange anymore.
- lynx23 4y agoSure, if you hear something often enough, it stops being special. However, I don't think I will get particularily used to it, because I am likely not going to have any contact with it. FaceBook is the last platform I have. All the hip new stuff like TikTok, Instagram and whatnot can stay where they are. I learnt my lesson in the few months that I happened to be on Twitter. I can see 1000 other things I'd prefer doing over scrolling through one of these modern depressants.
