Jumana Abu-Ghazaleh of Pivot for Humanity shared an article critical of #Metaverse in our #HumaneTechnology linkedin group.
With it the comment that "The Metaverse is basically a #MMORPG , albeit one that just…doesn’t…end". I agree with the article, though have a more nuanced take on the role of #gamification as described there.

If you raised children for instance, did you pretend that the spoon was an airplane when you brought it to your toddlers mouth? That's gamification. Or when you packaged a warm sweater in a present you kid thinks is the Gameboy they crave? Which comes as a surprise after that one. Gamification too.
