I don’t understand how it’s being presented as something new and interesting and nobody seems to notice/comment on this?

I always think of the episode of Futurama where they go into the internet, and it’s effectively a VR nexus linking a bunch of websites together like a mall. That’s what I imagine the idea is. A platform that can act as a big hub for different things, like shopping, (In VR) or going to a movie, (In VR… 3D!) or even like, going to work. (In VR.) It’s a fine idea, I suppose. But I think no one talks about it because VR is still pretty young. It’s clunky and frustrating to set up, and a large amount of people likely can’t stomach using it for more than a few minutes at a time. Second life is a game, with property and such. The “Metaverse” is a mall that contains the wonders of the internet in a more immersive way.
