    It’s an iterative process, going from messengers, to telegraph, to phones, etc. All in the pursuit of interconnectedness and information exchange. It’s kind of hit it’s peak with information exchange, being near instant. I can see virtual worlds being the next step (definitely why there’s a push towards things like the Metaverse) to achieve even more interconnectedness. An environment where you can be whoever you want and look however you want has appeal. It’s still too early for it to catch on with the masses, and also to know what the ramifications will be from people who will look to always be in that world.
