WHAT IS THE METAVERSE, AND WHY SHOULD YOU CARE?
BY THE MOMPRENEUR AKA NADIA
In recent years, there has been a lot of talk about the "Metaverse." But what is the Metaverse? Simply put, the Metaverse is a new virtual reality. It is a 3D online world that allows users to interact with each other and with digital objects in a way that feels real. It's not just for gamers anymore. The Metaverse is being used for everything from education to business to social networking. Think about it: we already spend a large chunk of our lives online. We work online; we shop online; we socialize online. So, it's not really that much of a stretch to imagine a world in which we do everything else online as well. In fact, with the way technology is evolving, it's not hard to imagine a future in which the metaverse is the primary way we interact with the world. For women, the Metaverse could
provide a safe space to network and connect with one another or used to create educational and work opportunities for women who might not otherwise have access to them. It provides a space to create and participate in digital products and experiences that are not possible in the physical world. You can attend a virtual fashion show or take a cooking class from a famous chef. Now is the time to explore the limitless possibilities of the Metaverse!
