In 1973 John F. Mitchell and Martin Cooper demonstrated The first handheld mobile phone.

For the past 100 years since the invention of the telephone, it had to be connected with

wires, and you couldn't take it with you anyway.

It wouldn't work unless it's plugged into all of these wires.

The telephone was magic when Graham Bell invented it.

How is it possible to talk to someone in another city through a piece of plastic connected

But Motorola DynaTAC 8000X was just the beginning because what was about to come couldn't be

imagined even by the greatest minds of that time.

1989, Nokia revealed its first mobile phone, and it weighed almost a kilogram (800g).

Other players like IBM quickly jumped into the industry, and with the invention of the

Internet, mobile phones looked like the future.

Back then, computers were these giant machines with boxy screens that looked absolutely ugly.

I guess gen Z will never understand what we went through.

In 1999, blackberry changed the industry by releasing a phone that supported email, and

If you compare that with what your phone can do today, that sounds silly.

The tiny smartphone that perfectly fits into your pocket is more powerful than a thousand

The question how did we go from this (first ever phone ) to this (latest iPhone)?

!! It sounds easy when you look back, but back then, it was as difficult as today predicting

When John I've presented the idea of a touchscreen to Steve Jobs back in the 2000s.

Some of the senior Apple engineers doubted the technology and took Apple 4 years to make

That's why when Apple got into the phone business.

Their competitors like blackberry or Nokia couldn't immediately compete with apple since

they didn't have the technology that Apple did, and it took them years to build a touchscreen

that's practical and strong enough not to break up easily.

Something else has been happening—something we didn't plan.

Something not even the world's biggest corporation knew was happening.

In the last few years, we have collected more data than we did in entire human history,

Everything that's done through the Internet is stored somewhere on the Internet.

 !  When researching for this video, I wanted to take a look at what happened to my old

emails when I created them back when Yahoo or Hotmail was popular.

To my surprise, they are still active, but I no longer have access to them.

But I went a little deeper, and I realized that I had dozens if not hundrеёeds of different

If you compile them together, you can create a virtual version of myself.

For the past two decades that I have been using the Internet, I have created a virtual

In fact, those who are born in the last 10 or 15 years are growing with smartphones in

their hands and literally creating a virtual identity right from the beginning.

So the virtual reality isn't a far-fetched sci-fi idea, but it has been happening for

When we throw words like metaverse or virtual or artificial reality, it sounds so futuristic

that we might not be able to experience them within our lifetime.

But the truth is that the revolution has been happening all along.

Think about how much of what you do is happening in real life and how much in the virtual world?

At first thought, you might not realize anything unusual.

But the average person spends 59 hours a week using the Internet.

That's around eight-and-a-half hours a day.

Over 1/3 of your time is spent in the virtual world.

It might not feel like that because currently, we are experiencing virtual reality through

screens, and it doesn't feel like it's virtual reality.

But there, on the Internet or the virtual world, you can be whoever you want.

Through your Instagram, you can make yourself look like you are a successful entrepreneur,

a doctor, or travel even if you are not that person in reality.

Ask yourself, does your life look like the impression your Instagram profile gives?

It's literally an experience where all of you get into this virtual world to have a

We came to a point where we interact, entertain, date, learn or even work in this virtual world.

 ! In 2020, Travis Scot conducted his first virtual concert, where 12 million people attended.

These numbers seem unreal because getting 12 million people into one place is physically

People could fly, fight, get out of the planet while watching how a giant Travis Scot performs.

Youtube is filled with videos of his concert as they experienced it.

Travis earned 20 million dollars out of this concert.

Ariana Grande had her first virtual concert in August, and Justin Beiber is on the way

The only problem is that right now we are experiencing the metaverse through screens.

But we are about to experience the metaverse in 3D.

We already have Oculus, PlayStation VR, HTC Vive, Microsoft HoloLens.

If you haven't tried them, they are really cool.

Playing games in Oculus is a completely different experience.

There are heavy, big and uncomfortable, and there are limited things you can do.

But that's exactly how phones used to be back in the day.

It took us almost 25 years to go from this (first phone) to smartphones, so it's a matter

of time before we have the VR headsets that are not heavy and comfortable.

It seems like  we need a much shorter period of time since we have the infrastructure in

Just think for a moment what we can accomplish when VR headsets will be as comfortable as
