So I guess everyone now a days know what metaverse is but if you dont let me help you understanding

Metaverse:

It is basically a concept to virtualize the real world we have or simply to make a universe(world) which is virtual only. Your schools, offices, friends meetups, business meetings, occasional greetings everything you do physically will be done virtually in your metaverse of course not eating and peeing.

What I see in future:

I can see a human wearing VR or AR glasses and lying down on his couch just doing all his daily chores while sitting on a single seat doing meetings or office chores or anything he does now while sitting on a seat. I see people in competition for buying digital currency and digital property in order to maintain their status like they do in real world. I can see a huge change in world in terms of business trends in terms of showing off in terms of sports, education, skills, and literally everything which i can not think of right now. I am sure that the developers will surely be thinking to relate the real world to the virtual one by augmented reality AR or whatsoever. This link will surely play a game changing role in many ways you know like you are developing your world according to your choice and the way you wanna see it.... how exciting isn't it?

How far is this future:

I personally think it won't take too long now as everything seems ready the virtual technology, the NFTs for buying and selling online properties, the digital currency: economy of future. And covid proved that the world can be ran virtually like we schooled and worked from homes although we were not that ready still we managed. So I guess it is matter of a decade or less I guess.

Era of Freelancers:

By the era of freelancers I mean it will be the time when the online workers will be the most demanded personalities like the constructors are right now in the developing countries mainly. Imagine in the virtual reality you bought a land and you want to build something there whom will you contact? of course the graphic designers who will make a house for you. You are starting a business for online marketing you will need a web developer for your financial advise you require a block chain expert. All these are the freelancers right now and will be the same in future but with more demand more acknowledgement and much more wages and pays.

So if you are a talented guy and looking for safe future than I can see the future of IT future of freelancing, future of block chain as an alternative of current economy and a future of human who can sit in front of screen for hours.
