speculation on the city of the future: is the future of the metamonde already here?

In October 2021, Zuckerberg announced that he would change the name of his parent company Facebook to “Meta” to support his “Meta Universe” marketing campaign. "Meta Universe" includes topics such as availability, avatar, home space, teleportation, communication, privacy and security, virtual devices, natural interfaces (natural interfaces), and more. He announced that Metaverse will not only provide digital online. Not only does it provide examples from all aspects of real life, but it also offers new interactions that cannot be enjoyed in real life.

Critics have noted that there are many flaws in the business vision of the "meta-world" that could cause the company to abandon its core business (website chat) and go there with no benefit whatsoever. Even more questionable is the model of managing the “meta edge”: Twitter Inc. Co-founder Jack Dorsey has publicly stated that the “meta-world” is designed to create “heterotopia”. Even the technical basis of the "meta-world" is messed up. While many IT hotspots are all connected to the "meta-world", the popularity and importance of the "meta-universe" has heated up, but no ways have been revealed to. integrate multiple talents. People don't know when the "meta universe" will come.

Metauniverse, a kind of 'industry word'

On November 23, a famous singer bought three "virtual lots" for about $ 123,000, and the "virtual real estate group" made a wave with a rock. However, when creatives see the “get rich” myth that “skyrockets a thousand times in a matter of days,” what they see is “long” like a phone scam. "Meta Universe" "It doesn't exist, but fraudulently uses the example of" buying a house "to create the illusion of increasing the value of" virtual land ", but there are still people who do not tire of it.

In contrast, a report released by the Seoul Metropolitan Government in South Korea the same month. The city has announced that it will be on the "meta-edge" by the end of 2022 and that it will provide a wide range of public and cultural services through the new platform. Or file a complaint with them. Seoul announced that it will create a "virtual city" in the "meta-edge" to create "contactless communication" between public and government agencies.

'Muniverse Housing will' seems to go against Seoul's vision. Meanwhile, the company sponsored "meta edge" has so far been close to the "tulip mania" exchange. It's hard to be optimistic about the future of the "meta universe". On the other hand, Seoul's plan is to rethink the city's public internet service and benefit the public. However, these two approaches, which result from public benefits, are also important in other respects. According to Bloomberg, the app and concept of "metacosmics" is now "the digitization of our way of life on Earth". As a "fake copy" it will inevitably move towards the "simultaneous" variety, ignoring the fact that in the past "copy technology" lost the survival material.

The "meta world" does not become a "city" of public communication because it has a "virtual city", and the sales of "virtual land" and "real estate" do not support the same people. Now, the “meta universe” is more of a “satellite city” with no planning or operation, not a “final city” that appeals to people as Zuckerberg describes it. As a "place" of the physical body which eventually occurs. Now the combination of "meta universe" and "existence", "image" and "space" and other keywords is rhetorical. No wonder Elon Musk said that the "metamworld" is a kind of "art industry".

Virtual avatars, distant beings and the next "meta universe"

Digging deep into a few key words of "meta-world" rhetoric will help you better understand why it made people listen at night. When it comes to virtual social platforms, we can say that such a "meta universe" has arrived. In 1999, Bill Gates said, “We want to create software that allows people in many places to have conversations. It allows participants to discuss and feel good. Today, more than 20 years later, people are already familiar with Gates' description of online chat and "cloud services." "The information of the future will be 'in the cloud', the Internet", everything has become reality one by one. Gates doesn't refer to the "meta edge", but the "meta edge" Zuckerberg explains is similar. The vision of the doors.

Reaching the virtual realm of "body and mind" is impossible today due to limited technology. Network meetings are often slow, sometimes intermittent, or cause only video and audio interference due to operational errors. At the same time, if the video is all the evidence you can get from "someone from afar," you have to rely on this heavy evidence so as not to fall into skepticism (that is, someone 'another is a dog., not a synthetic film of an intelligent genius).

These videos and feeds also create other avenues. As participants from other major, professional and age groups, we almost forgot to expect them to have a different theater and sound system. Audio and video on the Internet have become the “faces” of the people.

On the other hand, Bill Gates' vision is not limited to network communication, but to the broader sense of what he calls "telepresence".

Of course, such "remote location" can overcome the limitations in some way to achieve "face to face" communication and at the same time solve the reliable problem of "face to face" for some. In the communication, Gates did not disclose specific details. But he spoke of a lot of controversy behind the best idea. This means that your internet activity has collected a lot of personal information so that the speech does not look like smoke and the conflict is well documented. to follow. Gates says this information will enable “digital information life” “in the cloud”.

We can think of the "digital life record" and Gates' pursuit of a "distant existence" together. Today, data tracking information of all kinds, from surfing the internet to chatting, further describes and divides us as “people”, which in effect create “remote resources”.

While not as well understood as audio and video and close to the human experience of "real" relationships, they do perform "well" in distribution and can help directly demonstrate the power of recorders and recorders. records of powerful people. For e-commerce, this is a product that you will be used to, and you cannot afford the dangerous interest that you have stalked many times but "cut your hand", and that is the range of diets. that will occur in the environment. . For an important day instant messaging software, you are talking about. Record keeping is a network of relationships formed by family and friends with whom you communicate on a daily basis.

In the “distant”, “people” worked as “listeners”, “clients” and “interlocutors”. A clone of this "remote location" is the data, not the provider. It is designed to be a 24/7 offline activity and is only available upon receipt of various "recommendations" from the Platform.

It can be said that a "distance" is something which is not only achieved through the use of technology, but also included in the technological process. As the old saying goes, “distance” is, after all, an example because it doesn't “do” in a good way. .What.

Like that, the lunchbox from the Twitter company that criticizes Zuckerberg also means “50 steps that can make a hundred laughs”. Zuckerberg designed the "Meta Universe" cake, but he epitomizes the marketing Internet companies have done. Create "User portrait" and "Remote presence" and "Clone".

Back to the future: is the value of the “meta edge” possible?

In this sense, the “meta-benefit” that could stand on its own as a new concept and benefit has not yet arrived. Thus, “understanding” is not something new, it is a place that must be “created”.

If we were to do this work in conjunction with a discussion of "meta-world" issues, that's not what Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, and others say, and probably not research into what describes the "meta-world". -universe". However, an area that has not yet been included in a name such as "meta edge" provides a value that can be tailored to the capabilities of the actual device.

Scientist Frusel pointed out that the cities formed by mankind are moving from the age of "geography" to the age of "topology". The signs show that the natural separation of private, public and theoretical (sacred) spaces has been highlighted by the influence of technology. The forest of cars and other equipment, the private space has entered the public space, and the theoretical space has entered both and can no longer be identified. where information such as thoughts and experiences are shared in the stream, and people's information from that source is gathered and repeated.

The result of the "meta edge" can give us a "box" to describe and visualize this new landscape. Compared with multiple inadequate products (cryptocurrency and virtual real estate), the cost is longer due to the combination of thoughts, feelings, etc. in the production of unfair products. . Looks like a no-brainer in art.

Therefore, what we need is not a "consensus" given by a "clone" appearing in the mirror, but a kind of self-realization, that is to say d self-declaration of the will and responsibility for the right to self-determination. The "meta universe" should not be a model of the real world, nor a model of the uncertainty of reality.
