Yuanbas and semiconductors. Can't win service without hardware? review 2021 (2)-Impress Watch

Metabas "finally took shape". Is the localization of business five years later?

In 2021, the so-called GAFA and big science and technology also have various themes. The most common topic that comes to mind is that Facebook changed the name of the company to Meta. What about Metabas and Westfield?

Facebook's new company is called Meta. To realize Yuanbas.

Nishida: recently, there have been a lot of interviews like "what's going on with Metabas?" I think I've received so much attention, but in fact it hasn't changed much, so what's it like to feel too noisy? Metabas will not change next year, this is a very honest place.

Yuanbas itself is a concept that has continued since the 1960s, and at the level at which it seems to have finally taken shape, I think it will be after 2030.

Now Metabas, like the Internet around 1995, finally has Web, where it can do business. Metabas is the same, with a person to communicate with the world living in the virtual space, which is well connected, I find that there are great business opportunities waiting.

However, when it comes to the Internet in 1995, if it comes to the extreme, it is the White House and NASA. Five years or so after Amazon's debut, EC stood up. To some extent, this is a commercial activity. Metabas feels the same way that it takes five years to know that it's time for business to some extent.

In another 10 years, it will be time for the dotcom bubble to burst, when business is well established and ordinary people begin to use Yuanbas.

When it comes to what you can do in Metabas at this stage, it's just games, talking to people, and meetings, all of which can be done. Each of them is important but not connected. If they are linked together, the information and business circle will be transferred, and after settlement, the delivery will become "yuan", as the superior concept of the world.

Why does Facebook (Meta) want to be Yuanbas? SNS is a text-based Yuanbas. So I know that if you do a space-based meta-Bass, you have to do it, and it takes time. So first of all, when you want to run, there is no need to change the name of the company, but Facebook's reputation in Europe and the United States is not good, so I wonder if we should also change the name to a new direction.

After the company name was changed to Meta, Yuanbas suddenly became lively.

Nishida: nothing new has happened. This is still happening today, and people who don't care will pay attention to it when there are iconic services like PayPay when there is no cash payment.

Metabas hasn't changed when he was at VR, and people around VR used to be excited, "it's a world-changing technology," but they also realized that if Facebook were doing it, it would be a big business. When it becomes a topic like this, mountain-like people will show up, and I think it's a problem, but I think some kind of symbolic presence is needed in order for Metabas to get attention.
