Let’s be honest we all know that this is arrant nonsense invented by a company led by a one-trick pony desperate to stay relevant against the march of creative destruction.
If only Meta was the only metaverse – there are loads of them and they are growing rapidly

Nick Clegg pushing “ephemerality” !!! Another “here today and gone tomorrow” politician with no self-awareness.

A very sound argument. I agree and hope that you are proved correct, although of course the proof is always what happens in real life, with or without coercion.

My kids rarely pick up a phone, and won’t use voicemail on their mobiles. It’s all done by DM so we can respond as and when we want. Much better.
Ah Peter, you’re talking like an old man, with a very dated view of communications and interpretation of interactions. As a 60 year old I can appreciate your viewpoint as I used to rely on the old methods of understanding people’s communications.
But younger people are learning that in this new world they have to see the depth in electronic communications, rather painfully at times with all the daft over sensitivity and offence being taken so easily. I learned it in my last couple of years at work – gauging my language in comms carefully; watching the language of others in comms too for signs; taking the p*** whenever I could just to lighten the load for all by pointing out the daftness occasionally.
But I’m retired now, and enjoying my Oculus Quest 2, courtesy of Clegg. I retired because I found remote working less fun than direct interaction in the office – I really am an old man too.

The last 4 words of the article title are totally superflous. And what makes you think that Clegg actually wrote the essay, he has minnions to do that.

Great news for gamers and not only. Businesses from various fields will also get cool opportunities with the development of Metaverses.

LOL. You just summarized pages and pages of labored analysis about the weakness of Facebook (sorry, Meta) into one pithy sentence. Well done.
