The metaverse is a kind of virtual reality that comes close to our everyday physical reality.
This is a recent development, existing for less than 30 years (1993). It's a kind of parallel world in which avatars interact with each other. There are advantages and disadvantages to the metaverse. In fact, this parallel world makes it possible to broaden the social aspect. People with fewer social contacts and who are more closed than others to the outside world
may see advantages in the metaverse, as it offers them a chance to meet other people via this new virtual world.
People can communicate with others by voice chat or through the avatar using expressions. All this makes it possible to create rich, immersive social experiences where users can interact and enjoy themselves together. The metaverse can take different forms, such as online games. Online games remind me of my 17-year-old brother, who is often online with his friends to play games but also to talk and have fun. In the evenings after school he goes online and keeps in touch with his friends in this way because it makes them very close as they share the same desires and the same gaming techniques. There is a danger, however, if you overdo it and lock yourself into this parallel world that isn't real after all. But I think the metaverse is an innovation for the world and should be seen as a step forward that allows socially excluded people to reconnect with life in one way or another.

I agree with you Marie! metaverse it's a good way to communicate with other people and with new people but in my opinionn it's dangerous for de minors to have acess to this content without supervision.
