No Metaverse For Schmidt
Schmidt reported that he is not a big fan of the Metaverse because even after so many influential public figures and geniuses are trying to build the technology, no one knows what it is.
The defining problem is there in the Metaverse. Even though one company has changed its name to Meta, it is still unclear what it means. Eric referred to Zuckerberg as the company changed its name to Meta from Facebook.
Schmidt also said that he is not interested in buying digital real estate. Therefore, he is unsure whether it is solving a problem.
