Opinion by Megan McArdle: The metaverse may be coming. But don’t expect it from Mark Zuckerberg.
Unfortunately, Kodak was an also-ran in every new business it entered. Which wasn’t entirely surprising. If you wanted to create a digital photography company, you probably wouldn’t staff it with 145,000 employees of a company that made cameras and film — not even if one of them was a prodigy like Zuckerberg.There’s a telling moment early in Zuckerberg’s presentation on the metaverse when one of his employees mentions “Arizona Sunshine,” a video game for the Oculus headset.
Though Zuckerberg’s delivery is wooden, I’d bet the statement was sincere. In it, I heard echoes of Facebook’s creation story — something Zuckerberg and his buddies cooked up in a Harvard dorm room that they wanted to use themselves. Zuckerberg’s particular genius isn’t coding, but wanting what the rest of us would want if we understood what was possible.But such gifts are limited by one’s environment.
