Excellent article, I'm still very confused about this world of metaverse, with this you talk about fashion, the only thing that makes sense to me is the fact of not wasting materials that as you say end up stopping in a landfill or burned, I hope to gradually learn and understand more about this topic that every day invades us more.
Excelente artículo, aun estoy muy confundida en cuanto a este mundo del metaverso, con esto que hablas de la moda, lo único que tiene sentido para mí es el hecho de no desperdiciar materiales que como dices terminan parando en un vertedero o quemados, espero poco a poco ir aprendiendo y entendiendo mas de este tema que cada día nos invade mas.

Thankyou. Yeah, the whole metaverse thing is definitely confusing. I think that the main reason for this is because it doesn't really exist yet, at least not in the way that it is being portrayed by many. The majority of things that are being marketed as being metaverse platforms are really just online multiplayer gaming platforms where you can create characters, buy clothes for them and then share digital experiences in a social setting with your friends. The main difference is that the community co-creates the mini-worlds/experiences that are available in a lot of cases. The corporate world needs us to believe that the metaverse is here so that they can start selling us their products which they can then use to deliver a new level of advertising now. In my opinion, the metaverse won't really start to get going until the technology catches up a bit more. When AR(Augmented Reality) glasses start to become available at affordable prices we will start to see a lot of the apps and tech that are currently being developed actually come into fruition. At that point, we will probably be able to put on a pair of smart glasses and be able to see an entirely digital world around us that will be overlayed over the existing one. You will be able to see people walking down the street wearing digital outfits and accessories and I hate to say it but probably also a lot of digital billboards infecting our spaces with advertising for products that we don't want or need if current social media trends are anything to go by. I think it's fair to say that what we are seeing now is really just a foundation that is being built so when the tech does catch up everything will be in place to deliver the level of content that will be required to deliver an optimal experience. I think the best comparison I can make is to when the early social media and video sharing platforms got started around 2005-2007 the smart phone technology was still in its infancy so it couldn't really deliver the experience at a level that was really useful to people, also the internet bandwidth was also lacking so even streaming a video in decent quality on a mobile device was expensive and challenging for the majority of us. Unlimited data packages were pretty much unheard of and the data offerings that were available were really not that great and offered terrible value compared to today's world. I hope this helps to shed a bit of light on the metaverse and its current state. In one of my next posts, I will be focusing entirely on this subject so I will do my best to try and make as much sense of it as I can and cover as much as possible.😀 🙏 ❤️
