While the Metaverse destroys skills and abilities, it may increase the domestic quarrel and suicide cases
From İstanbul Gelişim University, Faculty of Economics, Administrative and Social Sciences, Sociology Department, Nazar Bal, Faculty Member, PhD, evaluated the effects of the Metaverse world, which is the intertwining of virtual and real worlds, together with augmented reality.
Social media tools, which are used quite frequently, especially as a marketing tool for the last ten years, showed that even ordinary people can promote themselves and even become a phenomenon, influencer, blogger or youtuber. Although it is thought that social media tools provide a free space to people, it also makes them dependent to it, together with many varying factors. Mentioning that the psychological, sociological, economic and cultural reflections of the Metaverse are inevitable, Nazar Bal, Faculty Member, PhD, said, “Metaverse enables users to create a new world for themselves via digital glasses in a preferred room of the house. With the global culture affecting the local culture and the development of technology, individuals have become subjects who imitate and resemble each other. Under these circumstances, individuals may begin to lose their skills and abilities."
