“Metaverse” is a concept that has been around for decades, but it’s only recently that companies like Meta Platforms Inc. have taken the lead in bringing this idea to life. Nick Clegg, head of global affairs for Meta Platforms Inc., took to the metaverse on Wednesday to insist that this virtual world will be the future of computing.

This could mean an end-to-end solution for everything we do online – no more switching between apps or dealing with multiple user interfaces as you move between different activities online. The possibilities are endless!
