Verse The Party
A Universe to Feel As a child of mixed race, growing up in a cold, small isolated town in the middle of nowhere,with very few people of color, I had an insatiable desire to connect with other people from all parts of the world, to discover the unknown, to experience new things, new cultures and most importantly I wanted to connect with people who understood me, who looked like me, who wanted the same interesting things I wanted. I wanted to belong, to be a part of something truly unique and special. I wanted inclusion. The metaverse is that portal to connect and feel immersed according to one’s desires and interests. You can find your people there, your tribe. You can connect and interact with people from all around the world, at anytime. It’s a great place to observe, learn and be inspired. The space is evolving and growing at a speed the world cannot keep up with, making timely predictions difficult. What I do know is that visually it will become more sophisticated and diverse. Artificial Intelligence, AI, will have a larger say in the development of visuals and ideas. Avatars will outgrow their ubiquitous cutsey image and become diverse, creative and real. On the flip-side, I do feel cybersecurity will be the biggest threat in this space and will continue to grow. An example of this would be the transference of confidential documents in business meetings. Illegal activities will also find homes here and keeping children safe in these worlds should be a top priority. The metaverse will also be brought into real life. Prepare to see what is digital/online now merged into our real world. Nothing is perfect nor will it be perfect. There is no wait and see approach to the metaverse. The time is now to see what all the fuss is about and embrace all the dynamic beauty and life flourishing in these ever changing spaces.
Let’s connect and celebrate what the goodness of humanity can accomplish in these worlds.
