Metaverse isn't a new innovation , it's a very old idea and has been for a long time. It's just Facebook's metaverse is stupid.

Like the language of the page of a book enables you to create a new world inside your mind. The metaverse is a place, limited only by human imagination. There are people who hold their entire network and self-worth online and if it were destroyed, they wouldn't even know who they were. The metaverse isn't a new innovation. It's an extension of what has been happening for people using symbols to represent ideas, and a space, that gives other people the ability to explore them. The beginning of the metaverse of adoptions started with cave paintings much like the language of the page of a book enables you to create a new world inside your model.~ JoshTerry.

Metaverse may have become the buzzword only recently, but it is well-known Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web (www) in 1989.

The meta verse experience has existed for a long time. Games like Rec Room , Club penguin , second life , pop tropica ,VR chat, world of wildcraft . The list goes on and on.

Facebook meta campaign talks as if this is a new revolutionary technology that is going to change the world when its already been here for a long time.

Another stupid thing was online concerts and party and you had to buy clothes for your virtual avatar which were NFTs. Yes, you would own a jacket or a shirt virtually which you would have paid for with real money so you could attend a virtual party.

With Facebook losing trust with you know all the data stealing stuff , they have nothing left so they had to rebrand and get into Meta. The Metaverse being connected to crypto and Nft already has a audience.
