About when will the Metaverse arrive

About meta-businesses
“It is difficult to imagine at-home or at-distance education ever fully substituting for in-person education. But we are slowly closing the gap through new and predominantly Metaverse-focused technologies, such as volumetric display, VR and AR headsets, haptics, and eye-tracking cameras.”

About Metaverse winners and loosers
“That’s the odd thing about saying the digital economy is 20% of the world economy. No matter how sound the methodology, the conclusion skips over the fact that most of the remaining 80% is digitally powered or informed.”

About metaversal existence
“As more people, time, and spending go online, more of our problems go online, too.”
