- The metaverse : and how it will revolutionize everything / by Ball, Matthew,author.;
- The term "Metaverse" is suddenly everywhere, from the front pages of national newspapers and the latest fashion trends to the plans of the most powerful companies in history. It is already shaping the policy platforms of the US government, the European Union, and the Chinese Communist Party. But what, exactly, is the Metaverse? As pioneering theorist and venture capitalist Matthew Ball explains, it is a persistent and interconnected network of 3D virtual worlds that will eventually serve as the gateway to most online experiences, and also underpin much of the physical world. For decades, these ideas have been limited to science fiction and video games, but they are now poised to revolutionize every industry and function, from finance and healthcare to education, consumer products, city planning, dating, and well beyond. Taking us on an expansive tour of the "next internet," Ball demonstrates that many proto-Metaverses are already here, such as Fortnite, Minecraft, and Roblox. Yet these offer only a glimpse of what is to come. Ball presents a comprehensive definition of the Metaverse before explaining the technologies that will power it and the breakthroughs that will be necessary to fully realize it. He addresses the governance challenges the Metaverse entails; investigates the role of Web3, blockchains, and NFTs; and predicts Metaverse winners and losers. Most importantly, he examines many of the Metaverse's almost unlimited applications. The internet will no longer be at arm's length; instead, it will surround us, with much of our lives, labor, and leisure taking place inside the Metaverse. Bringing clarity and authority to a frequently misunderstood concept, Ball foresees trillions of dollars in new value and the radical reshaping of society.

- The Social Trap. by Jadot, Elisa,film director.; Java Films (Firm),dst; Kanopy (Firm),dst;
- Originally produced by Java Films in 2024.Adolescents who are connected to their smartphone for more than five hours a day are 66% more likely to suffer suicidal symptoms than those who use it for one hour a day. 44 US states are currently suing Meta, blaming it for the malaise of an entire generation. Faced with powerful tech giants like Meta, Tiktok, Snapchat, X and Discord, how can we protect children and their childhood?For the first time in history, state legislators and parents in the US and Europe are joining forces to fight these digital giants. Among them are five women who have chosen to turn their daily lives upside down to fight back against the Big 5: Alexis, Elisabet, Sofia, Laure and Socheata.They are victims, mothers, doctors and lawyers. They’re all behind a movement to change the destiny of future generations. Alexis, a victim of screen addiction, was among the first to take Meta to court, accusing it of “inciting suicide.” Elisabet is a mother of three. In just a few days, over 10,000 parents joined her WhatsApp group to fight for a "phone-free youth." As a result, the state has banned smartphones in schools. Sofia is a psychiatrist and pioneer in the treatment of screen addiction in children, some as young as seven. Socheata has been involved in the fight ever since her son was manipulated by an internet predator. She has joined an organisation that works alongside cybercrime police officers to track down paedophiles. Laure is a lawyer determined to change the laws that protect the Big 5.Through the struggles of these women, we will discover that digital control is a major public health and safety issue that goes well beyond what we imagine.Mode of access: World Wide Web.
