Microsoft Just KILLED Zuck’s Metaverse
Facebook is a company everyone loves to hate and many think CEO Mark Zuckerberg is ahead of his time. In a widely celebrated news event on October 28, 2021, Facebook rebranded to Meta to reflect Mark Zuckerberg’s ‘metaverse’ vision. While speaking at a live-streamed virtual augmented reality conference, Zuckerberg said the new reflects its focus on building the “metaverse” platform.
“In the metaverse, you’ll be able to do almost anything you can imagine — get together with friends and family, work, learn, play, shop, create — as well as completely new experiences that don’t really fit how we think about computers or phones today,” said CEO Zuckerberg in Founder’s Letter 2021. He added that the world’s largest social network will continue to be called Facebook.
