The Metaverse and the potential for new brain architectures and a class divide of a different kind?

Many people will be hearing the word #metaverse and thinking what the heckin flip is that? Some people have heard of #Web 3.0 and some people are just beginning to learn how ‘the interwebz’ works since its inception in the late 1990’s.

We are all at different stages in our ability to understand the universe and how it works, never mind the cyber universe, or cyberspace as it was once referred to, now superseded by the phrase “digital” or “online” among many other types of framing.

So there sits a percentage of the world, (the corporeal one that is) that understands (mostly) how the digital, cyber and technological landscape is shifting and some of us have a finger on the pulse and some of us are misreading the heartbeats of the newborn infant of the metaverse.

I reckon I’m in the latter part of this minority as I read, watch and learn vociferously and confuse myself more on a daily basis. I likely have 6 podcasts, videos and training on the go at all times, alongside my studies and number of books and journal articles so, this is also an attempt for me to cognise and embody the new neural networks sparking a dance of delight in my brain. And yes I am aware of the ‘busyness’ and plate spinning I do.
