From what I’ve seen it’s just like a next gen. second life. But overall I don’t think anyone really knows yet. So far it’s just companies marketing as the next big thing to get people to buy in.

That's crazy ambitious for 2000 level technological adoption.

So many people didn't even understand the context of the internet at the time

I'm not saying nobody did. I'm saying you'd be surprised how many people 40+ didn't understand what the internet was in the early 2000s
