It has been hard not to.Facebook Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg mentioned tech’s latest buzzword 16 times on his company’s most recent earnings call last month. The future of Facebook, he said, is a metaverse—a virtual environment where you can be physically present to hang out, play games, work and create.A virtual world featuring avatars（阿凡达）, digital objects and functioning economies is a world where technology is all encompassing(包罗万象的，无所不包的) and not simply a discrete tool.

Facebook sells virtual reality headsets, while Microsoft sells augmented reality devices designed for business use. Apple Inc. is widely reported to be working on AR devices of its own.But a world through VR has plenty of drawbacks. For many, the experience can be hot, sweaty, and even nauseating. And much like social media itself, there is still ongoing debate as to whether prolonged use of VR is physically safe.Mostly, though, a virtual world hands even more power to technology giants that many argue have already amassed too much.Big tech can probably build the metaverse.
