Mark Zuckerberg recently announced the next step for Facebook in Web3, which will involve its transition to a virtual reality world known as the Metaverse. The billionaire innovator has so much confidence in his plan that he changed the company’s name to Meta and made the bold prediction that more than one billion people will be inside the Metaverse by 2030.
If the Metaverse is to get going, it will likely spread throughout the west first. But recent evidence suggests that people may be less open to the idea of this VR universe than Zuckerberg expects.
