META - Great entry point to the future of virtual realityI will be explaining my reasoning behind being one the few going long here on META and Zuck
We're witnessing the Motorola DynaTAC period where smart phones ultimately originate from.
These Brick phones weighted in at 2.5 pounds or 1.1 Kg a little heavier and bulkier than the iPhone 14 at 0.37 Pounds | 0.17 Kg.
Today I am honestly over smartphones that have been marketed as a productivity device turned into the exact opposite mixed with social media.
Social media is a dying concept and completely anti social as everybody I see entirely on "social media" cannot even interact without a phone and gets the energy sucked out of them like a drug.
There's hundreds of quotes prior to smartphones and virtual reality and I strongly credit the destruction of real development and innovation was due to social media mainly Facebook and Twitter, Zuckerberg realizes this and is making a forward step to finally get virtual reality done, we have the resources and the technology to start this, Microsoft, Apple, Valve, Varjo all see this and have heavily invested into this but by far META has the best chance to come out ahead as their profit model is entirely digital.
Meanwhile everyone is throwing names at Zuckerberg, tv presenters have said he needs to go, global institutions we're basically just forced to fire sale META to meet margin calls.
We're moving into a period of permanent high inflation, you can compare online gaming growth to Inflation the most growth came when people decided to use the virtual world over the real world due to cost of living, we have to stop thinking of this (Living entire lives in the Metaverse) and start thinking (Living a Hybrid lifestyle in the Metaverse) this will increase productivity and allow a real disconnect from digital to reality, smartphone can never provide this feeling due to the nature of how it attaches to humans looking to get little dopamine hits instead of completing tasks and actually being productive.
Could META drop lower? of course nothing is certain in life but ask yourself in the next 5 years Zuckerberg pulls off the metaverse creating the next thing to the smartphone how much do you value the future? I can tell you one thing if people wait for the vision to be completed you have missed your opportunity.
Happy bear market folks
"By 2007, PDAs and cell phones will have merged into single devices. They'll have 802.11 (whatever flavor), Bluetooth, 3G and, possibly, direct satellite capability. They'll be voice-controlled and use a heads-up holographic display. Laptops will become unnecessary for most folks. -- Doug Jackson, director of technology customer services, University of Texas at Dallas" 2002
"The future of mobile/wireless computing over the next 10 years will include the replacement of tethered Internet connections with the freedom of mobility -- high-speed wireless Internet capabilities will soon become a staple for every worker, just as cellular phones are part of our lives today. Soon, affordable "personal broadband" services will allow business people to access their critical enterprise applications at a client site, an airport or in a cab. Personal broadband will also allow any number of applications that are waiting for the wireless Internet, from monitoring the vital signs of heart patients without doctor visits, to instantly uploading a digital picture to a personal Web site the instant the photo is taken. -- Martin Cooper, chairman and CEO, ArrayComm Inc., San Jose, and inventor of the personal cell phone" 2002
"By 2005, mobile access to information will seem as natural as remote control of a TV. In fact, we'll wonder why we spent so much time at a desk. -- Jacob Christfort, chief technology officer for the Mobile Products and Services Division, Oracle Corp."
