The following report is by The Trends Journal:
Meta Platforms, Facebook’s parent company, hopes its’ new, $1,500 ProQuest virtual reality headset will prove to be a better venue for virtual business meetings than personal computers.
Meta announced a collaboration with Microsoft to bring Office 365 and Teams software to the headsets next year.
Meta also is partnering with Zoom Video Communications to make it possible for people to appear in virtual meetings as their avatars instead of themselves, which could save several varieties of embarrassment around garb, or lack thereof, and personal behavior.
It’s Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg’s latest attempt to move everyone into the Metaverse.
The new headset is thinner and more comfortable to wear, Meta says. The device has more sensors to transmit users’ facial expressions and physical motions into the Metaverse.
While video meetings haven’t stopped people from gathering live, there are plenty of meetings that could take place in a highly engaging and collaborative setting like the one Meta is trying to build.
Daniel Newman at consulting firm Futurum Research told The Wall Street Journal.
While Meta understands that bringing the Metaverse to the workplace, or putting the workplace into the metaverse, is key to the technology’s financial payout, Zuckerberg realizes that it won’t be love at first sight.
For virtual reality to reach its full potential, we need 200 million people who buy new PCs each year for work who can do some or all of their work better in the Metaverse.
Zuckerberg told the audience earlier this month at Connect, Meta’s annual conference.

However, like most disruptive technologies, the use of virtual reality headsets and the Metaverse for work in place of a computer will follow a long and winding road.
Giving up the familiarity of keyboards and screens will be easiest for people who grow up using virtual reality headsets; most people already busy with their careers are likely to be reluctant to invest time and trouble, much less cost, in adapting until either forced by their employers or a significant number of their peers make the change.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
As I have covered before, smartphones and the traditional computer will be going away: the sinister plan is to reconfigure and “hack” people, and turn them into a living cyborg; always connected to the grid and AI systems.
How The Antichrist Metaverse Will Control People’s Senses And Brain Functions
Currently Meta is purportedly losing insane amounts of money and networth. I personally question the media narrative on that, but regardless of what I think, the metaverse is certainly not sticking the people right now at all. Time will tell, but I do firmly believe that in years to come the metaverse (or some iteration of it) will become the “new normal” for the masses, whether or not Zuckerburg is successful.
Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions.
Ecclesiastes 7:29
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

Meta means death, and I want no part of anything Mark Zuckerberg has to offer, in fact I want nothing to do with anything the NWO has to offer. It is so easy to live off the grid and to live off the land.
I would LOVE to do that, Cary and in a colder climate as well even.
I just need to learn how to do things.

Revelation 9:16
16 And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them.
Another reason to go off-grid and homestead if at all possible. Even if they Clinton Zuckerburg, there’s always another one in line & for sale it seems….waiting in the wings. We watched these things develop, & with each step away from direct contact with the people that their decisions directly affected, things got worse. Across the board. This would be a nightmare for all involved.
