"The Metaverse: A Golden Opportunity to Fix the Internet’s Mistakes | Matthew Ball - BIG THINK"
Description
Expert Matthew Ball explains how the Metaverse is a golden opportunity to fix the internet.
The Metaverse does not yet exist. At the moment, it is a vision of the future of the internet.
One problem facing its development is that current problems with the internet — like misinformation, privacy issues, and security breaches — have not been solved. Inside the Metaverse, these problems could be amplified.
Thankfully, developers, consumers, voters, and regulators have the power to implement change.
