Assignment task: An article published on Bloomberg from last month talked about how the "metaverse market" will be worth almost a trillion dollars by 2030. With companies like Facebook (whoops, I mean Meta) and Walmart already neck deep in the race to reach digital consumers, it seems like a WALL-E type dystopia is nothing short of an inevitability. I mean heck, this time last year the NFT craze was taking off and creating a $2.6B market of "digital art."
Question: Do you think that this is an inevitability, where we might find ourselves in 30 years spending our time shopping at the metaverse Walmart? Or do you think that this concept of digitalizing our humanity is due to be rejected?
