Our reality is starting to look interestingly similar to that of a Black Mirror episode. In this episode, Kristina and Tolu talk about the potential benefits and drawbacks of a metaverse, particularly how virtual reality (VR) may affect mental health. Tolu brings up the research she did on Facebook, and how the metaverse is not a newly realized goal. They talk about how VR is starting to be implemented in situations other than gaming (e.g., work). The new DSM is rumored to release in March, so they discuss the rumored additions, as well as disorders that might not be added (such as Problematic Internet Use Disorder). However, they also bring up an alternative to the DSM. Kristina recalls past episodes where the function of a metaverse was slightly foreshadowed. The term of the episode is Metaverse.
