The Metaverse. You’re probably familiar with the concept. It’s just like the internet, but in 3D. Instead of surfing the web, people will inhabit it. Initially, this type of “living” will be done via avatars. However, one day, in the not-so-distant future, according to Mark Zuckerberg, one of the metaverse’s chief architects, humans will actually relocate there, and leave reality behind.
