Australians Lag Developing Nations in Metaverse Awareness
Categories: Crypto News US
Compared to developing nations, a recent report by Ipsos has found that only 44 percent of Australians are familiar with the metaverse.In a global survey on the state of new technologies around the world, Ipsos found that people across the planet have different levels of excitement around technology, however almost all agree that it has and will continue to profoundly impact their lives. Less than half the Australian cohort surveyed (44 percent) expressed familiarity with the metaverse, while only 36 percent expressed positive feelings about engaging with the metaverse in their daily lives.Unsurprisingly, there were vast differences in both metaverse familiarity and excitement, depending on demographics, nationality and socio-economic factors. “What we know from other research is that as familiarity improves, so too does the potential for trust and positivity. As we hear more about these technologies and learn more about them, it is likely we will become more positive about them and their potential to hopefully have a real impact on our lives.”Despite Australians lagging behind in crypto awareness, according to one recent report, one forward-thinking indigenous community has embraced the metaverse in a big way and established its own cultural embassy and digital currency.
