Original title: Video | Facebook changes its name to Meta Zuckerberg heads to the “meta universe”
October 28, 2021 is destined to be a historic day in Facebook’s history. On this day, Facebook changed its name when it was 17 years old and was approaching adulthood.
At the annual conference called Facebook Connect, Facebook announced that the company’s name will be changed to Meta. The theme of this conference is Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR).
This change of name shows that Facebook firmly hopes to get rid of the label that has been affixed to it since its inception-social media, jump out of the “comfort zone”, and strive to open up the Metaverse. From the name of the new company, we can see the importance attached to the concept of “Meta Universe”.
Facebook CEO Zuckerberg said on Thursday: “Today, we are regarded as a social media company, but in our DNA, we are a company that creates technology to connect people with people, just like the social network we started. Meta Universe is the next frontier. Our brand and a product are very closely linked. This product may not represent everything we do today, let alone the future. From now on, our first priority is Meta universe, not Facebook.”
In July of this year, Zuckerberg described his vision for Metaverse, hoping to build Facebook into a metaverse company in about five years. Meta Universe is a new revolution after the mobile Internet. It will be a physical Internet, which will be jointly operated by many participants in a decentralized manner.
