\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Humanity is living in a new civilized stage characterized by speed and change, so that we find something new every day that imposes great and dangerous challenges on us, as it brings us many positive life additions that make our lives more beautiful and useful, with the emergence of the \u201cInternet\u201d in the \u201980s and the great revolution it brought about In human history, it contributed to entering the world into a new historical stage different from its predecessors, and paved the way for \u201ccyber,\u201d \u201cinternet of things\u201d and \u201cartificial intelligence.\u201d This trilogy has become an integrated unit that nourishes each other, develops each other, and contributes to the formation of a fascinating world, described as (the world of metaverse or the world after the Internet).<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 First: \u201cMetaverse\u201d meaning and concept.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The announcement of the founder of Facebook (Mark Zuckerberg) and its president to change the name of his company from \u201cFacebook\u201d to \u201cMetaverse\u201d is an announcement of a \u201cpost-internet world\u201d, a world with actors, mechanisms, principles, challenges, forms, and dimensions radically different from what humans\u2019 experiencing, the word \u201cMetaverse\u201d is formed from two syllables (Meta), which means beyond and (Verse) means the universe, and its first use was in science fiction (Snow Crash) vision of the American writer (Neil Stevenson) 1992, which revolves around the interaction of humans through a virtual likeness (Avatar) as it embraces these interactions in a three-dimensional virtual space supported by augmented reality technologies.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Talking about what \u201cMetaverse\u201d means is a bit like having a discussion about the meaning of the \u201cInternet\u201d in the 70s, the cornerstone for a new form of communication was in the process of being built, but no one could really tell what reality would look like, so it was true, and in that time for the \u201cinternet\u201d was in the first phase, the idea was not ripe for what it would look like. \u201cFacebook\u201d easily defines \u201cMetaverse\u201d as \u201ca set of virtual spaces that enable you to interact with other people from distant physical places\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
