The 7 Biggest Threats to Metaverse元宇宙面临的七大威胁

乌梅什·库尔米 张燕

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

過去几年来，虚拟现实一直被人们挂在嘴边，一有机会就冒出来。而到了今年，围绕这个主题的讨论数量激增，焦点突然转向一种新技术——元宇宙。作为世界上第一个以区块链技术为动力的生态系统，元宇宙提供了一种与世界任何地方的虚拟世界互动的全新方式。现在，虽然元宇宙已经取得诸多令人振奋的进展，但我们须想清楚是否应当感到担忧，这一点十分重要。

元宇宙是一个分布式存储数字价值的体系，由多个参与者合作创建。它虽然拥有广阔前景，但同时也是黑客和骗子觊觎的大目标，他们想掠夺它存储、记录和分发数据的能力。这样的威胁数量巨大，所幸开发人员有办法在您所希冀的一切被毁掉前阻止这些威胁发生。

从互联网到人工智能、区块链、智能手机，以及自动驾驶，我们已经见证且今天还可以目睹许多新趋势的产生，但有一些尚不确定的更重大问题是我们看不到的。

现在闲话少叙，对元宇宙来说突如其来的最大威胁都有哪些，我们一起来看看。

1. 对先进技术的需求

元宇宙将会是第一个支持所有类型虚拟现实设备的虚拟世界，如头戴式显示器、移动设备、个人电脑和智能手机。它是一种利用人工智能、3D渲染、分散式架构等更先进技术构建和共享虚拟世界的新方式。

随着这个世界越来越密切相联，我们将需要一个如元宇宙这样分散化的虚拟世界，这一点不难理解。而这个虚拟世界所需的技术远远超出了现有技术的范畴。

2. 人际关系与社会

它有可能破坏我们的友谊和家庭关系，使我们更容易受到网络攻击。人们在元宇宙中可以随意创建新身份，这将影响他们现有的人际关系。元宇宙身份可以用于网络跟踪和操纵，这将对我们的人际关系造成严重损害。

由于其匿名特性，它有可能摧毁人际关系和社会。例如：

·如果你在元宇宙中反对某人，你绝对无法在实际生活中找到他/她。

·如果有人想把自己家变成一个虚拟世界，他们可能很容易在这个环境中与其他人的虚拟形象建立亲密关系。

·如果有人能入侵系统，他们就可以接管每个人的虚拟形象并将其变成机器人。

3. 成瘾及健康问题

元宇宙是一个虚拟世界，用户可以在其中创建自己的虚拟形象并开发自己的技能。有些人可能会对这个虚拟世界产生依赖，并长时间沉浸其中。他们还可能忽视其现实生活，而这可能导致健康问题。

元宇宙是一个虚拟现实平台，有极大的可能导致上瘾和引起健康问题。元宇宙基金会正在开发的VR头显配备了先进的传感器，令用户能够体验更逼真的虚拟现实。随着从传感器收集来的数据被越来越深入地分析，它可能导致严重的健康问题。

4. 仇恨言论和种族主义

元宇宙是一个数字世界，可以用来传达思想、意识形态和情感。在这个数字世界中，人们可以发现许多不同类型的意识形态和思想。他们也会持有相互对立的政治观点。最具争议的政治意识形态之一就是种族主义。

有些人可能会利用它宣扬种族主义和仇恨言论。这个平台可能会变成个人分享仇恨信息的地方，因此贻害社会。

5. 隐私及安全隐患

隐私和安全问题是元宇宙中存在的一个巨大问题。元宇宙的区块链高度分散，可供任何人访问。因此，如果没有得到妥善保护，私人信息很容易被截获。保证私人信息安全非常重要，因为任何数据泄露都可能导致财务损失。

通过实施高级加密技术、数据加密和生物认证，元宇宙采取了很多步骤来保障用户的隐私和安全。然而，元宇宙中仍然存在一些可能被黑客利用的漏洞。建议您始终严密保管密钥。

6. 个人负担能力

由于成本高昂，穷人无法使用元宇宙。进入元宇宙的成本非常之高，大部分人都难以企及。富人可以毫无困难地投资元宇宙，穷人就做不到了。

7. 实用性和现实意义问题

谷歌眼镜是可穿戴技术的第一个实例。它的价格高得让人望而却步，只有极少数人负担得起。一副谷歌眼镜定价超过1000美元，这也是元宇宙主要代币的价格。而元宇宙代币可能也会像谷歌眼镜一样失败，因为元宇宙的未来没有切实的计划，其发展前景也并不清晰。

谷歌眼镜推出时取得了巨大成功，但由于缺乏现实意义和产品质量差，很快就停产了。元宇宙也可能面临与谷歌眼镜相同的命运。

结论

元宇宙一直以来面临着大量批评，然而这些批评都没能阻止其发展。即使有多种因素可能对元宇宙的未来构成威胁，它仍然是目前区块链空间最具潜力的项目之一。

元宇宙就像互联网，总有一天几乎每个人都会用上它。不过，我预计不会有哪家公司主宰这个市场。F1379016-03FA-4B09-86C0-2D7E6DE14186
