The most important business trend in the next five to ten years, how close is the Metaverse to you? Seoul, South Korea, announced that it has become the first city in the world to join the Metaverse, which means that we can enter Seoul through virtual reality equipment such as VR, and we can conduct various activities such as visiting and handling celebrities, allowing the capital of a developed country to compete to enter the Metaverse. How popular is it?
Recently, stocks related to the word "Metaverse" have skyrocketed. Liu Yexi, a virtual master of the Metaverse, has gained millions of followers in one video. Zuckerberg spent 60 billion to rename Facebook to Meta and enter the metaverse. In the universe, Luo Yonghao, who has just paid off his debts, started his own business again, claiming that whether we like it or not, his next entrepreneurial project will actually be a Yuanverse company. Do you think this is over? The Metaverse actually affects every aspect of your life. Electronic ID cards, driver’s licenses, electronic invoices, online classes, digital currencies, online concerts, Bitcoin, NFT, etc. Everything around you will become more sophisticated. Digital virtualization becomes more metaverse. So what exactly is the Metaverse?

Want to know what is the Metaverse? You must first know that the Metaverse is not as simple as a video game or a virtual world as the public understands it. It is not a virtual world plus the real world, but a combination of the virtual world and the real world. The concept of the metaverse first appeared in Neal Stephenson's science fiction novel "Snow Crash" in 1992. It tells the story of a real human being and a virtual human living together in the same space. For example, if you live in a world with Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf, then this world is called the Metaverse. This universe combines reality and virtuality, and transcends the real universe. It is like you falling in love with a game character, through VR, 3D projection or other Technology, it can appear in your world , you can also enter his world, and he can use virtual coins to order real-world takeaways for you. You can also scan the takeaways into his world through your device so that he can taste them. He can go shopping and watch movies with you. You can also accompany him to fight monsters and level up. You no longer need to fall in love with a human. Because you can no longer distinguish between virtuality and reality, you should not use conservative old ideas to criticize and say that virtuality is not good for us, because in the future virtuality and reality will form our world together, which is the metaverse.

Some people may say that this is Inception and Silver-Hebei Killer 2049? These science fiction works of art have long predicted it, so why is it still said that 2021 is the first year of the Metaverse? Because of unexpected reasons in 2021, everyone stays at home and the time they spend online has increased significantly. The stay-at-home economy has developed rapidly, and online life and work have become the norm. In the past, the online world was a supplement to the real world, but now the online world has become a parallel world to the real world, which has accelerated the virtualization of society. People's concepts have also begun to change. Virtuality is not false, nor is it irrelevant.
As more offline and online lives are connected, our lives have begun to migrate to the virtual world on a large scale, and we have become an amphibious species between reality and digital. No one can fully understand the metaverse at present, because it is still a concept that is constantly evolving, and different participants continue to enrich its meaning and the universe in their own ways. Especially in this hot spot, everyone is a pedestrian and can create value in their own way.
