change the name of his company from Facebook to Meta.

background to the word Meta, next to which is a blue "infinity" sign.
During a video clip he released today to followers, pioneers of
communication sites, and users of major international companies, he explained
that the new name of Facebook Meta means the word "after" in Greek, and this
change comes in an attempt to move into the virtual world with many more
updates.

He explained that the new updates will be released today, and the company will continue to provide the same electronic services, with the addition of new updates that will be appreciated by all users all over the world and in all countries.

Meta .. an incomprehensible term
It is surprising that if Facebook has aggressively promoted the idea or the
term metaverse, in recent weeks, it is still largely incomprehensible.
The term was originally coined by science fiction writer Neal Stevenson to
describe a virtual world where people escape from the dystopian real world.
And now it's backed by one of the biggest and most controversial

The "metaverse" project is based on creating a copy of the Internet with
virtual reality technology, which the company says represents the future.
The term metaverse refers to digital worlds where multiple people can interact
in a 3D environment, including the full spectrum of augmented reality.
