Reply to comment by The-Initiative in The Metaverse Is Failing, But It Is One Investment That Will Not Die by BiscuitOfGinger

Eh, don’t discount the hidden technological advancements that come along with the dumb consumer results like avatar legs.

The advancements in our understanding of mathematics/physics and it’s application in coding could have profound impacts in other aspects of the world.

I’m not. Technology doesn’t advance in straightforward ways. Discoveries are often arising out of work completely unrelated to the original set out goal.

When we sent humans to the moon, we invented a whole lot of technology from the resulting lessons that had absolutely nothing to do with space. I don’t see why there wouldn’t be potential for technological advancements to come out of this metaverse initiative that ultimately have nothing to do with Meta’s virtual world.

One example off the top of my head: Velcro! Invented to stick stuff on the wall and keep things from flying around inside the space capsule. Now available at every fabric and hardware store in your neighborhood!
