In fact, most activities will take place in the metaverse:
• work
• school
• training
• shopping
• entertainment
• fitness and more.
An ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE assistant will be your day-to-day companion.
It helps you run your life, make high quality decisions, and reach your goals.
It predicts what you want or need to do next and makes suggestions throughout the day.
Many people will have therapy or emotional-support AI companions.
It is customized to meet their specific needs.

99% of all online activity will be on the BLOCKCHAIN.
It has become a bedrock of society like electricity and the internet are today.
Everyone, including governments, will use cryptocurrencies because of their ease to use, increased security and privacy.
The internet and social media will be decentralized and secure.
You will own your online identity and content, and your activity will be private.
Banks will no longer exist in any recognizable form.
Real estate transactions will take place on the blockchain.
The blockchain will make elections more secure and transparent by assigning an id to each voter and easily keeping track of those votes.
The ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY will be entirely transformed.
The current studio system will no longer exist.
Instead, a series of decentralized organizations and communities will create and distribute film and TV productions.

These communities control narratives, storylines, character development, casting, distribution and more.
Filmmakers, talent, and fans will shape the productions the world sees.
