Meta<\/a><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u201cSome people will say that this isn\u2019t a time to focus on the future,\u201d Mark Zuckerberg said during the opening to Facebook\u2019s 2021 Connect livestream<\/a>. Clearly, he was referencing the real-world, present-day controversies facing his company. But after uttering this sentence, The Zuck slipped into a world of delusion. He spent the next hour touring through a VR fantasy land, fighting to drive home a single point\u2014Facebook isn\u2019t Facebook anymore.<\/p>\n

I mean that both literally and figuratively. While the Facebook website will retain its name, the big company known as Facebook is now called Meta<\/a>. This new name is a reference to the \u201cMetaverse<\/a>,\u201d a poorly-defined concept of the future where Facebook-made VR and AR technologies drive real-world commerce, social interaction, work, and education.<\/p>\n

This simple name change will not erase Facebook\u2019s \u201cmistakes,\u201d as Zuckerberg calls them, nor will it shield the company from criticism or embarrassing congressional hearings<\/a>. People will continue to call Meta by its original name, just as they say \u201cGoogle\u201d when referring to its respective parent company, Alphabet.<\/p>\n
