RE: Splinterlands: Welcome To The Metaverse

But while all the people are constantly online, who is taking care about the real world? Who is keeping the streets clean, who is providing the food, who is producing and shipping toilet paper, light bulbs or smart phone and car components etc. ?
Are you saying the world will be divided in 2 classes, the losers who have to work in the physical world and the winners who can delve in DApps while earning money doing so?
Reminds me a little to the Eloi and Morlock from the H.G. Wells novel "The Time Machine". Not sure if such a world is sustainable.

Sort:  

Who is growing the food? Who is building the cars? Who is making the semiconductors?

Our world is becoming more automated. For the past 70 more, between machines and computers, people were reduced in many fields. The US manufactures more than it ever did yet employs more than 1.5 million less people compared to 30 years ago.

And now things are accelerating. People are going to have a lot more time on their hands in a couple decades.
