What I casually called "printing" is actually called UV lithography. It's the most important tech used in the fabrication of microchips. UV lithography works similarly to analog photography in the sense that the target surface is altered by light.
While there are lots of problems with FB, Insta & co, Meta's newest project, the metaverse, sound super exciting! Looks like Meta is putting lots of money towards Oculus' #quest to build long-distance-presence solutions.
1. Most importantly, remote work is here to stay. But for hybrid work settings (i.e. some in the office, some remote) there is no good solution yet. Metaverse intends to solve that.
2. Many of today's issues require coordination on a global scale. Think of the #ClimateCrisis, the #BiodiversityCrisis, overcoming #NeoColonialism and #inequality, et cetera. The Metaverse promises to make such coordination comfortable, natural and effective.
