According to Meta’s vice president of Horizon operations, Gabriel Aul, in a recent internal notice, stated the team’s goals for the first half of the year, with the top priority being to increase user retention, especially among the young adult and teen users groups.
There are many ways in which these age groups will be the true digital citizens of the metaverse, since they have grown up interacting seamlessly with technology and connecting with others remotely through computers.
