Technology has come a long way in the past years and it has significantly changed the way we live and experience social connections. This 2022, technology is set to trespass beyond the barriers of the mobile and desktop screen. It will definitely shape the way on how we interact and live our lifestyle. Be on the lookout for the creation of a new virtual universe with the rebranding of the Facebook company into Meta.
“The metaverse’s distinguishing trait will be a sense of presence — as if you are right there with another person or in another place. The ultimate goal of social technology is to feel fully present with another person. That is why we are concentrating our efforts on constructing this.” – Mark Zuckerberg, CEO and Founder of Facebook.
Does it sound like a science fiction film? Well, definitely yes! The only difference with the launch of Meta or Metaverse is it will be experienced in real life. Gone are the days wherein we express our thoughts and connect with one another through the screen. In Meta, we could actually do the social interaction by literally being IN THE SCREEN.
If you are thinking of the creation of an augmented reality, then you are on the right track! It is because Meta will be all about virtual reality. A virtual reality where one can experience a whole new digital immersive experience. The whole concept of Meta is actually defying the laws of physics and distance. Primarily, it takes into a whole new science in which what we had thought was impossible and ambitious from the past would now have been a reality, and eventually becoming a part of our everyday lives.

Why the Rebranding into Meta?
During the annual Connect conference last October 28, Mark Zuckerberg has announced the rebranding of Facebook Company into Meta. This left many users of its brand including Facebook, Messenger, and Instagram intrigued on what it will be for the established social media community.
In his Founder Letter, Zuckerberg deliberately and specifically highlighted the reasons for the rebranding into Meta:
“Our brand is currently so inextricably connected to one product that it cannot possibly reflect all we do today, let alone in the future. Over time, I wish to be recognized as a metaverse firm, and I want to base our work and identity on what we’re working towards.
The metaverse includes both social interactions and future technologies. As we widen our horizons, it’s time to create a new brand. However, all of our goods, including our applications, now share a new vision: to assist in bringing the metaverse to life. And now we have a moniker that accurately represents the scope of our work.
From now on, we shall prioritize the metaverse above Facebook. That means you won’t need a Facebook account to enjoy our other services in the future. As our new brand appears in our products, I hope that people all around the world get acquainted with the Meta brand and the future we represent.”
Creative Economy
Apart from creating a new world of social connections, Zuckerberg has also shared Meta’s concept of Creative Economy.
Basically, the Creative Economy is an economy of creators and developers in making social interactions viable through an augmented reality in the Metaverse. In fact, Zuckerberg shared that Meta will be crafted with a group of creators and developers who could trigger an interoperation ecosystem in making a massive creative economy that could result to new and immersive experiences.
More than Consumers
In Meta, people who are on the receiving end will be more than consumers. They already have the choice and access on how they could make their experience worthwhile. Apart from that, the Metaverse will open its doors for all.
Zuckerberg said that “a lack of customer choice and hefty developer costs are inhibiting innovation and slowing the internet economy.
We attempted a different technique. We want our services to be available to as many people as possible. This implies aiming to make them less expensive rather than more expensive. Our mobile apps are completely free. The ad model is intended to deliver the most affordable costs to companies. Commerce tools are free or charge a little price. As a consequence, billions of individuals enjoy our services, and hundreds of millions of companies rely on them.
That is the method we want to use in assisting in the creation of the metaverse. We want to sell our gadgets at a loss or at a discount. Subsequently, this will make them more accessible to a wider range of individuals. We will strive to give developer and creator services at cheap prices in as many circumstances as feasible. This is a way to optimize the entire creative economy,”
Through Metaverse, social experiences will definitely be made better and feasible no matter the distance and time.
What is Meta?
Clearly, Meta will be more than just social networking. It will then focus its energies more on connecting people in the next decade. Thus, it is seen to be the next frontier on the Internet as it aims to go beyond what exists today. Subsequently, the whole Meta company believes that they have “always prioritized developing technology that allows people to communicate with one another.” Hence, Meta brings technology to people, and not people to technology.
Bringing the Metaverse to Life
What’s significant about Meta is it will bring life closer to technology like never before.
Once Meta has successfully migrated into the real world, teleportation via hologram will be part of the ‘new digital normal.’ In this regard, catching up to the most important events of your life will be as easy as counting one, two, and three. Likewise, one can expect that the handheld and physical gadgets that we have today will just be holograms in the future. More specifically, they will be designed by the creators around the world. Thus, it imposes the birth of Creative Economy.
Indeed, “this will increase your opportunities regardless of where you reside. You’ll be able to devote more time to what’s important to yo. Likewise, you will spend less time stuck in traffic. In addition, it will lessen your carbon impact.”
