[QUOTE="wjschmaltz, post: 336807, member: 6150"] So what you're telling me is that in the future people are going to spend their time online in a place with like-minded people hiding behind anonymous names and avatars? Interesting concept. Most people have been living in a type of metaverse for over a decade now. We are just currently in a different stage. We all participate in a world where people with similar interests gather to virtually hang out. Obviously the way the metaverse is discussed, it's several steps further along than where we are today, but forums such as this are leaps and bound of where we were a couple decades ago when the metaverse was simply e-mail or general chat room. I think Elon Musk did a good job in putting it all into perspective. He says that by definition people are already cyborgs simply by the way they do everything online, just that our medium is inefficient (phones and computers). It has evolved to things like smart tvs, smart fridges, smart homes, Alexa, etc where people can get everything on demand by voice or by the device observing behavior. The next step is humans with an oculus strapped to their face and having body sensors - "the metaverse" as it's advertised. And eventually it will evolve into some sort of neurolink. I don't plan on participating, but I'm sure all the guys on here 20 years older than me would've said the same thing about online forums when they were in their 30s. I can almost hear all the "If I want to talk about hunting and fishing I'll go down to Cenex and not to a computer." So personally I don't think its going anywhere, simply because we've been living in it for close to two decades. So I will continue to cash in on it financially. It will be a sweet day when I turn all this digital land into hunting land! [/QUOTE]
