Episode discussion topics * What's going on so far? + Games mostly. + Connectedness and some sense of community. + Why not university too? * Who’s out there right now? * What about NFTs? + Play to Earn (P2E) options yield in-game coins that can be redeemed for NFTs or other products from in-game stores. + Property and skins can be purchased for coins or cash that are backed by NFTs. + Some companies are selling their virtual property for the possibility of an NFT in the future. + Make sure you know what you're getting for your USD. * Some truly revolutionary aspects of it: + No safer way to explore the world of humans out there. + No cheaper way to meet people from across the world. + It also may be less taxing on the environment than traditional forms of travel. Assuming the cost of energy to run the game or associated blockchains isn't exorbitant. * Calls to Action: + Perhaps watch or read Ready Player One. + The easiest way to explore the wide world of the metaverse: - PCs. - Headsets. - Sony is staying in a walled garden, not joining the metaverse. - Oculus Quest 2 is the latest Facebook offering. + Consider this: - Think about how you would want to use the metaverse or see it used. What experiences do you imagine? - Pressure and haptic sensor feedback systems are coming online to make it all feel more real. - Watch this short clip from PBS Newshour on sensors and rewiring nerves to stir your creative juices. + Stay subscribed to Citizens Prerogative and tuned in for future episodes.
