METRO Webinar: Facebook Going Meta – The Future for Online Interaction and What to Do About It
February 17, 2022 @ 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm EST
Facebook broke news in 2021 that it is creating an umbrella company through which it is poised to create a virtual reality. Living life through avatars in a new world has long been the subject of science fiction; now, though, technology is moving closer to making virtual reality, well… a reality.
Join our data privacy + security experts Dan Ayala and Gary Price for a discussion on what the Metaverse could mean for library services, how we might prepare for a new mode of human interaction, and how data privacy issues could fare as folks begin to imagine life as citizens of the Metaverse.
In this session, you will learn:
> How and why data privacy issues will be impacted in virtual reality settings
> How library services might change should virtual reality become a thing
> The implications for a continued shift in how humans interact with the internet
We hope to see you there!
