Is it possible to simultaneously love and hate a new disruptive technology?
RE: Metaversities - Alpha - 06-04-2022
Yeah, I've never really experienced this kind of technology but I can see how someone might be drawn to it. I'd like to know more about how it works.

Sure. I do it with very old technologies all the time, e.g ancient operating systems and even my "Grandpa" flip-phone. Why can't I do it with new ones?

Oh nnooowww I get why Facebook wanted to change their name to Meta. They wanted to be the new Metaverse. But DC comics had it first. And you can’t mess with the metaverse. It could change all the universes in the multiverse. Did anyone call the Justice League and see if this will mess with the timeline?

I'm not even a comics fan.

It's not new, this is what Second Life was two decades ago. Universities tested that out too, back in the day. And it's not disruptive, at least not yet, and with Facebook pushing it, I have hope that it won't be.

Anything at all to do with Facebook? No! Just plain NO!
