According to his definition, the metaverse is a product or service, with seven core attributes including persistence, synchronicity, and interoperability. The technology strategist Ben Thompson has argued, however, that this description is in fact not far from what the internet already is and does, only "with a 3D layer on top of it". ............. The third definition is compelling in part because it focuses on those who will actually build and use the metaverse: people. Answering questions about how the metaverse might look and feel -rather than pondering about its features could prove a useful viewpoint to predict the wave of socioeconomic change that the metaverse is expected to unleash. After all, the future is built by ruthless pragmatists； not the armchair theorizers who "meander the forest of their own words".

Now is the time to act. We are in a unique, fast-changing time period in history. After being locked down for so long, there's a hunger and lust for something new, exciting and adventurous. Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk and Richard Branson are sending rockets to explore space and make Mars habitable for humans. ............ We are in an era of rapid change and it feels like anything is possible. You need to take advantage of it and spend your time on yourself. The pandemic has changed us. Our collective mindset has shifted toward being open and receptive to new opportunities and limitless possibilities.
