About The Episode

This week we saw Facebook rebrand to Meta, to fit more in line with the future vision of the emerging metaverse. Facebook already had ¼ of its staff working on AR and VR projects, and recently announced an additional 10,000 jobs in the EU to support the building of the metaverse, which it sees as the future of the internet and online interaction. While some see the move as taking a position on the future, others note it as a timely shift to focus away from the growing negativity of social media and Facebook.
