How Does Technology and the Metaverse Affect Human Progress?

Published: March 27, 2022, 12:08 a.m.

What\u2019s something you\u2019ve done in the past month that, you believe, has an impact on humanity\u2019s evolution? Or, at the very least, your personal evolution in your human experience?

We\u2019ve innovated and developed so many technologies to help improve our quality of living. Think of the machinery and AI that goes into putting food on our tables. From local farms to processing areas to grocery stores, we are incredibly lucky to be living in such comfortable times.\xa0

But what if we could still take things a step further? Imagine a future where you can bypass grocery stores and farms because you\u2019ve got your food growing on your very own kitchen counter.\xa0

Too Much Time on the Road?

The reality is that we spend a lot of time in transit to other activities. For example, our daily commutes to and from work. Our \u201cquick trips\u201d to the local supermarket. These activities disrupt our regular flow. And while it\u2019s true that some of us may find these activities enjoyable, it feels more like we\u2019re adapting to the mediocrity of what is instead of fighting for what can be.\xa0

We can spend more time finding enjoyment in connecting with nature, the way we were meant to do so. Hiking, going to the park, taking your dogs on a walk. Spending time with our families. These are the evolutive and cultural things that need to occur for you to increase your self-awareness.

The COVID-19 pandemic forced us to take some pretty ingenious measures so we could ensure the survival of our loved ones and our communities. For example, businesses started allowing work from home setups. In some places around the world, grocery vans patrol the area and allow people to buy without leaving their homes.\xa0

This sudden change in our daily flow may not have been the best introduction to a more introspective life. But it\u2019s a glimpse to a world where we are capable of being more self-sufficient. Where opportunities come knocking at our door, instead of the other way around.\xa0

Exploring the Metaverse

Someday, the internet will become a place where we can fully live in, with our five senses. We can create avatars of ourselves and \u201ctravel\u201d to meetings with teammates from around the world. We would also be living under a digital economy, where users can create, buy, and sell goods.\xa0

It\u2019s difficult to pin down the full scope of what the metaverse is, because how accurately can we paint a picture of a world that\u2019s yet to come? What we can tell you is that if we play our cards right today, the research and development in these technologies should create a world where humanity is at the center of its evolution.

Where we have the opportunity to truly transcend, to live out the authentic human experience.

Closing Thoughts

Technology gives us the capacity to remove redundancies that do not contribute to our evolution. All those routine activities that you used to have to do, just to survive? Let them be managed automatically by machine learning and AI. That way, we can focus on the things that make us human.
