The Metaverse will serve the same purpose and become the backbone of the society we will see in the upcoming years. The digitization process is only accelerating, leading to the further evolution of and within societies. The vision of new markets, new economies, and new clients is too promising to be missed. Not only for us, mere market participants, but also for world-renowned brands that have much more at stake.
Yay,@moderneremite! You have won third place and 1200 SAND Tokens!

At the end of the day, whether it’s dating or selling shoes, no one is going to sit and wait for technology to catch up with your William Gibson dreams, so if you want people to log in to the Metaverse right now, in an attempt to address the non-gaming realms of human need, you’ll probably want to work on small improvements to the Web 2.0 status quo rather than attempt to build the world that we ultimately all want but won’t have the technical chops to deliver for another decade or so.
Excellent story@rhortx; you have won 800 SAND Tokens.
The fifth position is won by:

When the websites were not attractive, web pages were not much responsive, user experience was not so good, hardware was expensive and ugly, and non-techies were skeptical about it and they were calling it a fad, but in reality, the internet had huge potential, and the tech enthusiasts were experimenting and building solution on the Internet.
History doesn't repeat itself but it rhymes.
You’ve won 500 SAND Tokens, @prcwrites!
