The 7 Biggest Threats to Metaverse元宇宙面臨的七大威脅

烏梅什·庫(kù)爾米 張燕

Introduction

Virtual reality has been on everyones lips for the past few years， seeking a place to fit in. This year though， the number of conversations around the subject went through the roof， and focus suddenly shifted towards a new technology—Metaverse. The worlds first ecosystem powered by blockchain technology offers an entirely new way to interact with virtual worlds， anywhere in the world. Now， with all of the exciting developments already taking place on Metaverse， its important to figure out if we should be worried or not.

Its a distributed store of digital value， created by the collaboration of several participants. Though highly promising， its also a big target for hackers and scammers who want to plunder its ability to store， record， and distribute data. These threats are enormous in number， but luckily there are ways for developers to prevent them before they ruin the things you had hoped for.

From the internet to AI， blockchain， smartphones， and autonomous driving， there are a lot of emerging trends that we have witnessed and can see today but there are even bigger things up in the air that we cant see.

Now， without any further ado， heres a list of the biggest threats that take Metaverse by surprise.

1. Advanced technology required

Metaverse will be the first virtual world to support all types of virtual reality devices like head-mounted displays， mobile devices， PCs， and smartphones. It is a new way of building and sharing virtual worlds with more advanced technologies like artificial intelligence， 3D rendering， decentralized architecture， etc.

As the world gets more connected， it is not difficult to understand that a decentralized virtual world， such as Metaverse， will be required. The technology required for this virtual world is far beyond the reach of current technology.

2. Human relationship & society

It has the potential to destroy our friendships， family relationships， and make us more vulnerable to cyber-attacks. People will be free to create new identities in Metaverse， which will impact their existing relationships. A Metaverse identity can be used for cyberstalking and manipulation， which will cause severe damage to our relationships.

Because of its anonymity， it can devastate relationships and society. For example，

· If you disagree with someone in the Metaverse， you will never be able to find him/her in real life.

· If someone wishes to make their house a virtual world， they might easily form intimate relationships with other peoples avatars in that environment.F1379016-03FA-4B09-86C0-2D7E6DE14186

· If someone can hack into the system， they could take over everyones avatar and turn them into robots.

3. Addictions & health issues

The Metaverse is a virtual world where users can create their avatars and develop their skills. Some people may become addicted to this virtual world and spend hours immersed in it. They may also neglect their real life， which can cause health issues.

Metaverse is a virtual reality platform， which has huge potential to cause addiction and health issues. The VR headset that is being developed by Metaverse Foundation is equipped with advanced sensors， which will allow users to experi-ence virtual reality with a more realistic feeling. As the data gathered from the sensors will be analyzed and analyzed further， it can lead to serious health issues.

4. Hate speech & racism

Metaverse is a digital world that can be used to express ones thoughts， ideologies， and emotions. In this digital world， one can find many different types of ideologies and thoughts. They also hold opposing political ideas. One of the most controversial political ideologies is racism.

Some people may use it to promote racism and hate speech. The platform may become a place where individuals can go to share hateful messages， which can be harmful to society.

5. Privacy & security concerns

Privacy & security problem in Metaverse is a huge issue. Metaverses blockchain is highly decentralized， and anyone can access Metaverses blockchain. So， your private information is vulnerable to interception if not secured properly. It is important to keep your private information secure， as any data leaks can result in financial loss.

Metaverse has taken a lot of steps to protect users privacy and security by implementing advanced cryptography， data encryption， and biometric authentication. However， there are still some loopholes in Metaverse that can be exploited by hackers. It is advisable to keep your private keys safe at all times.

6. Affordability for everyone

Because of the high cost， the Metaverse is not accessible to the poor. The cost of accessing Metaverse is so high that it is out of reach for most people. The wealthy can afford to invest in Metaverse without difficulty， but the poor cannot.

7. Questions regarding utility & relevance

Google Glass was the first example of wearable technology. It was prohibitively expensive， and only a select few could afford it. The price of Google glasses was more than $1，000 which is also the cost of Metaverses main token. Metaverses token may also fail like Google Glasses， as there are no solid plans for the future of Metaverse and no clear vision for its growth.F1379016-03FA-4B09-86C0-2D7E6DE14186

When Google Glass was launched， it was a big success， but it was soon discontinued due to its relevance and poor quality of the product. Metaverse may also face the same fate as Google Glass.

Conclusion

Metaverse has faced a lot of criticisms in the past， but none of them have been able to stop its growth. Even though many different factors could threaten Metaverses future， it is still one of the most promising projects in the blockchain space today.

Metaverse is like the internet—pretty much everyone will be using it eventually. However， I dont expect any particular company to dominate the market.

引言

過(guò)去幾年來(lái)，虛擬現(xiàn)實(shí)一直被人們掛在嘴邊，一有機(jī)會(huì)就冒出來(lái)。而到了今年，圍繞這個(gè)主題的討論數(shù)量激增，焦點(diǎn)突然轉(zhuǎn)向一種新技術(shù)——元宇宙。作為世界上第一個(gè)以區(qū)塊鏈技術(shù)為動(dòng)力的生態(tài)系統(tǒng)，元宇宙提供了一種與世界任何地方的虛擬世界互動(dòng)的全新方式?，F(xiàn)在，雖然元宇宙已經(jīng)取得諸多令人振奮的進(jìn)展，但我們須想清楚是否應(yīng)當(dāng)感到擔(dān)憂，這一點(diǎn)十分重要。

元宇宙是一個(gè)分布式存儲(chǔ)數(shù)字價(jià)值的體系，由多個(gè)參與者合作創(chuàng)建。它雖然擁有廣闊前景，但同時(shí)也是黑客和騙子覬覦的大目標(biāo)，他們想掠奪它存儲(chǔ)、記錄和分發(fā)數(shù)據(jù)的能力。這樣的威脅數(shù)量巨大，所幸開(kāi)發(fā)人員有辦法在您所希冀的一切被毀掉前阻止這些威脅發(fā)生。

從互聯(lián)網(wǎng)到人工智能、區(qū)塊鏈、智能手機(jī)，以及自動(dòng)駕駛，我們已經(jīng)見(jiàn)證且今天還可以目睹許多新趨勢(shì)的產(chǎn)生，但有一些尚不確定的更重大問(wèn)題是我們看不到的。

現(xiàn)在閑話少敘，對(duì)元宇宙來(lái)說(shuō)突如其來(lái)的最大威脅都有哪些，我們一起來(lái)看看。

1. 對(duì)先進(jìn)技術(shù)的需求

元宇宙將會(huì)是第一個(gè)支持所有類(lèi)型虛擬現(xiàn)實(shí)設(shè)備的虛擬世界，如頭戴式顯示器、移動(dòng)設(shè)備、個(gè)人電腦和智能手機(jī)。它是一種利用人工智能、3D渲染、分散式架構(gòu)等更先進(jìn)技術(shù)構(gòu)建和共享虛擬世界的新方式。

隨著這個(gè)世界越來(lái)越密切相聯(lián)，我們將需要一個(gè)如元宇宙這樣分散化的虛擬世界，這一點(diǎn)不難理解。而這個(gè)虛擬世界所需的技術(shù)遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)超出了現(xiàn)有技術(shù)的范疇。

2. 人際關(guān)系與社會(huì)

它有可能破壞我們的友誼和家庭關(guān)系，使我們更容易受到網(wǎng)絡(luò)攻擊。人們?cè)谠钪嬷锌梢噪S意創(chuàng)建新身份，這將影響他們現(xiàn)有的人際關(guān)系。元宇宙身份可以用于網(wǎng)絡(luò)跟蹤和操縱，這將對(duì)我們的人際關(guān)系造成嚴(yán)重?fù)p害。

由于其匿名特性，它有可能摧毀人際關(guān)系和社會(huì)。例如：

·如果你在元宇宙中反對(duì)某人，你絕對(duì)無(wú)法在實(shí)際生活中找到他/她。

·如果有人想把自己家變成一個(gè)虛擬世界，他們可能很容易在這個(gè)環(huán)境中與其他人的虛擬形象建立親密關(guān)系。

·如果有人能入侵系統(tǒng)，他們就可以接管每個(gè)人的虛擬形象并將其變成機(jī)器人。

3. 成癮及健康問(wèn)題

元宇宙是一個(gè)虛擬世界，用戶可以在其中創(chuàng)建自己的虛擬形象并開(kāi)發(fā)自己的技能。有些人可能會(huì)對(duì)這個(gè)虛擬世界產(chǎn)生依賴，并長(zhǎng)時(shí)間沉浸其中。他們還可能忽視其現(xiàn)實(shí)生活，而這可能導(dǎo)致健康問(wèn)題。

元宇宙是一個(gè)虛擬現(xiàn)實(shí)平臺(tái)，有極大的可能導(dǎo)致上癮和引起健康問(wèn)題。元宇宙基金會(huì)正在開(kāi)發(fā)的VR頭顯配備了先進(jìn)的傳感器，令用戶能夠體驗(yàn)更逼真的虛擬現(xiàn)實(shí)。隨著從傳感器收集來(lái)的數(shù)據(jù)被越來(lái)越深入地分析，它可能導(dǎo)致嚴(yán)重的健康問(wèn)題。

4. 仇恨言論和種族主義

元宇宙是一個(gè)數(shù)字世界，可以用來(lái)傳達(dá)思想、意識(shí)形態(tài)和情感。在這個(gè)數(shù)字世界中，人們可以發(fā)現(xiàn)許多不同類(lèi)型的意識(shí)形態(tài)和思想。他們也會(huì)持有相互對(duì)立的政治觀點(diǎn)。最具爭(zhēng)議的政治意識(shí)形態(tài)之一就是種族主義。

有些人可能會(huì)利用它宣揚(yáng)種族主義和仇恨言論。這個(gè)平臺(tái)可能會(huì)變成個(gè)人分享仇恨信息的地方，因此貽害社會(huì)。

5. 隱私及安全隱患

隱私和安全問(wèn)題是元宇宙中存在的一個(gè)巨大問(wèn)題。元宇宙的區(qū)塊鏈高度分散，可供任何人訪問(wèn)。因此，如果沒(méi)有得到妥善保護(hù)，私人信息很容易被截獲。保證私人信息安全非常重要，因?yàn)槿魏螖?shù)據(jù)泄露都可能導(dǎo)致財(cái)務(wù)損失。

通過(guò)實(shí)施高級(jí)加密技術(shù)、數(shù)據(jù)加密和生物認(rèn)證，元宇宙采取了很多步驟來(lái)保障用戶的隱私和安全。然而，元宇宙中仍然存在一些可能被黑客利用的漏洞。建議您始終嚴(yán)密保管密鑰。

6. 個(gè)人負(fù)擔(dān)能力

由于成本高昂，窮人無(wú)法使用元宇宙。進(jìn)入元宇宙的成本非常之高，大部分人都難以企及。富人可以毫無(wú)困難地投資元宇宙，窮人就做不到了。

7. 實(shí)用性和現(xiàn)實(shí)意義問(wèn)題

谷歌眼鏡是可穿戴技術(shù)的第一個(gè)實(shí)例。它的價(jià)格高得讓人望而卻步，只有極少數(shù)人負(fù)擔(dān)得起。一副谷歌眼鏡定價(jià)超過(guò)1000美元，這也是元宇宙主要代幣的價(jià)格。而元宇宙代幣可能也會(huì)像谷歌眼鏡一樣失敗，因?yàn)樵钪娴奈磥?lái)沒(méi)有切實(shí)的計(jì)劃，其發(fā)展前景也并不清晰。

谷歌眼鏡推出時(shí)取得了巨大成功，但由于缺乏現(xiàn)實(shí)意義和產(chǎn)品質(zhì)量差，很快就停產(chǎn)了。元宇宙也可能面臨與谷歌眼鏡相同的命運(yùn)。

結(jié)論

元宇宙一直以來(lái)面臨著大量批評(píng)，然而這些批評(píng)都沒(méi)能阻止其發(fā)展。即使有多種因素可能對(duì)元宇宙的未來(lái)構(gòu)成威脅，它仍然是目前區(qū)塊鏈空間最具潛力的項(xiàng)目之一。

元宇宙就像互聯(lián)網(wǎng)，總有一天幾乎每個(gè)人都會(huì)用上它。不過(guò)，我預(yù)計(jì)不會(huì)有哪家公司主宰這個(gè)市場(chǎng)。F1379016-03FA-4B09-86C0-2D7E6DE14186
