As we bid adieu to 2021, let's delve into the reflections and insights shared by our founder. A year of challenges, triumphs, and lessons learned, encapsulated in a heartfelt letter that offers a glimpse into our journey and future aspirations.
Meta
An embodied internet where you’re in the experience, not just looking at it
- The defining quality of the metaverse will be a feeling of presence
- You’ll be able to do almost anything you can imagine – get together with friends and family, work, learn, play, shop, create – as well as completely new experiences that don’t really fit how we think about computers or phones today
Role and Responsibility
The metaverse will not be created by one company. It will be built by creators and developers making new experiences and digital items that are interoperable and unlock a massively larger creative economy than the one constrained by today’s platforms and their policies.
- Their role in this journey is to accelerate the development of the fundamental technologies, social platforms and creative tools to bring the metaverse to life, and to weave these technologies through our social media apps.
Who We Are
Facebook is a company that focuses on connecting people.
- While most tech companies focus on how people interact with technology, Facebook has always focused on building technology so people can interact with each other
- Today, Facebook is seen as a social media company, but that’s not all they do
- The metaverse encompasses both the social experiences and future technology
- To reflect who they are and the future they hope to build, they’re proud to share that their company is now Meta
- From now on, they will be metaverse-first, not Facebook-first
- You won’t need a Facebook account to use any of their other services
