Why the Metaverse is going to be the future of the internet & your business

As tech trends go , there are often superfluous and skippable ideas , there are also trends you finally admit it ' s time to pay attention to , and , finally , there are once-in-a-generation changes that are so powerful that they exert a gravitational pull on multiple aspects of our lives .

The metaverse is officially a gamechanger . The future of business & real estate is about to shift dramatically to a radical new virtual world called the metaverse . Though still in its infancy , it ' s clear that the web3 will radically change how we ' re able to interact online , how brands advertise and how companies operate .
Virtual land in the Metaverse is already selling for Millions of Dollars . Recently Tokens . com Corp , a Canadian investment firm focused on crypto assets , announced it had closed on the “ largest metaverse land acquisition in history ” through its subsidiary Metaverse Group , whose real estate portfolio spans several different virtual worlds and is reportedly worth “ in excess of seven figures .”
SpatialWeb is one of the leaders in the metaverse developed by South African tech company Y-Dangle ( owned by Eric
Nienaber and Josh Fox ). SpatialWeb is owned by US-based company Vatom Inc , but developed here in South Africa and is leading the metaverse space development charge .
Nienaber says , “ the metaverse is evolving fast at rate of knots on a daily basis as new functionalities are continually added to enhance and improve the space .” Nienaber adds that it is difficult to define the metaverse as there are so many sub sectors . At its core the metaverse , also known to many as web3 , is an evolution of our current Internet .
REI have already hosted 4 large conferences with over 500 people on SpatialWeb and now use the platform for business meetings instead of using the platitudinous Zoom , Hangouts and Teams platforms .
