I sat and watched the Facebook episode with Zuckerberg explaining the name change (to Meta) and how the future unfolds. Then I sat and pondered for a while.
This fantasy video that Zucky showed....eventually gave me this idea that within the next five years....you will be able to drive home....sit in a chair with googles on and have a chat with four friends.
The four 'friends'? Well....it's pretty good odds that they will all be imaginary and fake.
Marty will be some world-traveler, who is pro-environment, continually in need of a 'safe space', drinks only glacier water from Canada, and is continually confused about things.
Maja will be your Swedish friend, who is 50-percent male/50-percent female, hyped-up on vegan food, drinks Swedish glacier water, sings Elvis Presley tunes, wears most Green Bay Packers clothing, and has never been beyond Sweden in her life.
Birger will be your Viking friend, who reads Scottish erotic stories, thrilled about Egyptian pyramid chatter, sips Nile River water, and allows himself a piece of chocolate once a week.
Muffin will be your New York City friend, who tells gritty stories about the subway, hypes up environmental issues, sips mostly coffee (nine cups a day) and feels continually depressed about Trump.
None of them are real....it's just that Zucky rigged up some massive server in Utah and it builds 'friends' for people who don't want human attachment.
You're feed a thousand bits of info about yourself into the system, and it'll spit out imaginary 'friends' to fulfill your life.
What'll happen when the bulk of F-book people realize this end-game? It's hard to say. Some might readily approve of it. Some might go and ask if they can retrieve the old F-book server, and just have plain regular and real friends.
So, if you thought things today were confusing....just wait.
