The technology necessary to power the metaverse doesn't exist.
It will not exist next year. It will not exist in 2026. The technology might not exist in 2032, though it's likely we will have a few ideas as to how we might eventually design and manufacture chips that could turn Mark Zuckerberg's fever dreams into reality by then.
Over the past six months, a disconnect has formed between the way corporate America is talking about the dawning concept of the metaverse and its plausibility, based on the nature of the computing power that will be necessary to achieve it. To get there will require immense innovation, similar to the multi-decade effort to shrink personal computers to the size of an iPhone.
