Abstract
Although the notion of the metaverse is implicit in some popular video games, its concept is currently being rethought, in addition to adapting it to various activities that have progressively migrated to the digital world, such as work, commerce, education and recreation. It is projected for the coming years a high financial investment in research, development and implementation of technology, whose main feature is virtual reality. According to the technological conglomerate that drives its progress, the main objective is to make digital connections an immersive experience that enhances human relationships. Now, historically, the tech giants are not driven by altruistic purposes but by mass control in addition to their economic benefits, over and above that which is obvious, the question remains as to whether it is a really necessary technology. At first glance, it may offer advantages in the field of education and labor action. However, the technology has some sharp edges that must be treated with great care. In that sense, this essay, in addition to exposing the technology, offers ideas for debate about its desirability and social impact.
