From the Ted Talk by Agnes Larsson: The awesome potential of many metaverses

Unscramble the Blue Letters


There is this word that you might have heard a lot recently, like right now: metaverse. It's sddneuly a huge thing. And while for many people, it causes a lot of eixneetcmt, I think it also causes other feelings, like confusion and ceroncn. And I think that's fair.

And I’ve also felt confused. matvseere is not really a new thing. Many massively multiplayer online games, for example, can be seen as metaverses. And I've certainly also felt concerned, especially when people talk about "the metaverse." That assumes that there's only one owner of the metaverse, and this owner would get far too much power and data. It also risks being exulivcse. It might not be accessible for everyone, and will risk to idonucrte many of the inequities we see in the real wrlod in the metaverse. This was pretty sad to me. So then you might wonder like, why am I here talking about the metaverse? That doesn't make sense.

There is this word that you might have heard a lot recently, like right now: metaverse. It's suddenly a huge thing. And while for many people, it causes a lot of excitement, I think it also causes other feelings, like confusion and concern. And I think that's fair.

And I’ve also felt confused. Metaverse is not really a new thing. Many massively multiplayer online games, for example, can be seen as metaverses. And I've certainly also felt concerned, especially when people talk about "the metaverse." That assumes that there's only one owner of the metaverse, and this owner would get far too much power and data. It also risks being exclusive. It might not be accessible for everyone, and will risk to introduce many of the inequities we see in the real world in the metaverse. This was pretty sad to me. So then you might wonder like, why am I here talking about the metaverse? That doesn't make sense.
