FACEBOOK OFFERS EU JOBS

FACEBOOK yesterday announced plans to hire 10 000 people in the EU to build the “metaverse”, a virtual reality version of the internet that the tech giant sees as the future. Facebook chief executive Mark Zuckerberg has been a leading voice in Silicon Valley hype around the idea of the metaverse, which would blur the lines between the physical world and the digital one. The technology might, for example, allow someone to don virtual reality glasses that make it feel as if they’re faceto-face with a friend. |
