What is a Virtual Native

What is a Virtual Native?

 

It’s been a while since I’ve had something relevant to share. I have been spending my time learning how to code and understand the basic functions of Python. I also have been building out my virtual spaces in Spatial. The Onboard60 Gallery now has a Network Lounge with seating for get-togethers. The Onboard60 office has a variety of portals for people to experience virtual spaces.

My book, Web3, A.I. & The Metaverse is out, published a few weeks ago. I already have my second one in revisions. That one will be more of a handbook and guide.

I still keep up with a variety of social media and do my Monday X Space 1 pm EST. Onboard60 Real Talk, where people come share their joys, stuck points and accomplishments.

My curriculum has led me to some experiential learning over Thanksgiving. I have been dipping into “What is a virtual native?”; and reading books, articles, etc. This Thanksgiving, I spent with my niece and her daughter, my great niece, Avalea, who is 11 years old.

I had the pleasure of spending about two or three hours learning and playing Easy Obby, on Roblox. It was difficult for me to keep on the paths, the roads, the sidewalks!! I kept falling to the wayside and inevitably had to start again. What I noticed was the ease and patience my great niece had with me.  She grew up with an iPad in her hand. Roblox comes easy to her. Also Roblox has taught her to have relations from all backgrounds and cultures, use digital tokens (Robux) and digital bank accounts on Roblox, build healthy collaborations and lifelong friendships.

The critical thinking skills and ability to pivot and think quickly were not lost on me either. Her solutions to obstacles came in seconds when I couldn’t even see the obstacle yet.

This 11-year-old is known as a digital native, a virtual native. She grew up in a world of technology.

Virtual natives are changing the way we communicate, interact and work. These young people, virtual natives, are highly social and resourceful, forming allegiances online, working arrangements, and building communities. Virtual natives have flexibility and are comfortable with online life. They have a strong presence in virtual spaces and social media. They are global, building online relationships and influencing discourse through multiple platforms.

The impact of virtual natives on the future of society is significant, particularly in the workplace, where their entry into buying power and how people interact with technology is a driving force. Their influence extends economically, socially, and redefining society.

Virtual spaces have become integral to the lives of virtual natives, shaping the way they communicate, interact and build relationships. Social media platforms such as Snapchat, Instagram, X are popular among virtual natives for sharing content, messaging, and staying connected with friends and communities. There are Social Virtual Worlds for users to interact, socialize, and even create their own content.

Multiplayer online gaming platforms provide virtual spaces for virtual natives to socialize, collaborate and compete.

Virtual natives have the skills to adapt to Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Virtual Meetings in the Metaverse easily communicating both professionally and in a personal manner.

Social media is not only used to communicate and connect with friends. Virtual natives use social media to follow their interests, news, different companies, and celebrities. Virtual natives participate in polls, search videos and watch snippets of news on their devices. They are well informed and up to the minute on a lot of relevant happenings. The use of social media has become a primary form of interaction for virtual natives, whether it is connecting with friends, shopping, or working in the digital age.

The landscape being created by virtual natives is one of connection and flexibility. Generations after generations adapted to the way things were. It is refreshing to see things will not be as they always have been. The freedom to live a full life while maintaining the lifestyle desired through using technology is what we must look forward to.  Virtual spaces will be a supplement, an extension of a virtual native’s daily life. Nine to five will be a coffee shop in Paris or Pikes Peak in Colorado. Business meetings held in virtual spaces where people from all over the globe, no matter the time zone, can attend. Virtual travel to faraway places for home bound people or others who are unable to travel, maybe a virtual visit with a grandchild in real time. The possibilities are unimaginable. 

As we go into 2024, I think it’s How we adapt to the virtual native’s world is what matters most. How resilient are you? Are you able to be a beginner, learn a new way of doing something? There will be many opportunities and it will be useful to learn, stay relevant, ahead of the curve. Do your own research, go to my Stan Store, and get the eBooks, and go to YouTube, watch my videos.

The impact of virtual natives on the future of society is significant, particularly in the workplace, where their entry into buying power and how people interact with technology is a driving force. Their influence extends economically, socially, and redefining society.

Virtual spaces have become integral to the lives of virtual natives, shaping the way they communicate, interact and build relationships. Social media platforms such as Snapchat, Instagram, X are popular among virtual natives for sharing content, messaging, and staying connected with friends and communities. There are Social Virtual Worlds for users to interact, socialize, and even create their own content.

Multiplayer online gaming platforms provide virtual spaces for virtual natives to socialize, collaborate and compete.

Virtual natives have the skills to adapt to Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Virtual Meetings in the Metaverse easily communicating both professionally and in a personal manner.

Social media is not only used to communicate and connect with friends. Virtual natives use social media to follow their interests, news, different companies, and celebrities. Virtual natives participate in polls, search videos and watch snippets of news on their devices. They are well informed and up to the minute on a lot of relevant happenings. The use of social media has become a primary form of interaction for virtual natives, whether it is connecting with friends, shopping, or working in the digital age.

The landscape being created by virtual natives is one of connection and flexibility. Generations after generations adapted to the way things were. It is refreshing to see things will not be as they always have been. The freedom to live a full life while maintaining the lifestyle desired through using technology is what we must look forward to.  Virtual spaces will be a supplement, an extension of a virtual native’s daily life. Nine to five will be a coffee shop in Paris or Pikes Peak in Colorado. Business meetings held in virtual spaces where people from all over the globe, no matter the time zone, can attend. Virtual travel to faraway places for home bound people or others who are unable to travel, maybe a virtual visit with a grandchild in real time. The possibilities are unimaginable. 

As we go into 2024, I think it’s How we adapt to the virtual native’s world is what matters most. How resilient are you? Are you able to be a beginner, learn a new way of doing something? There will be many opportunities and it will be useful to learn, stay relevant, ahead of the curve. Do your own research, go to my Stan Store, and get the eBooks, and go to YouTube, watch my videos.

What is a Virtual Native?

 

It’s been a while since I’ve had something relevant to share. I have been spending my time learning how to code and understand the basic functions of Python. I also have been building out my virtual spaces in Spatial. The Onboard60 Gallery now has a Network Lounge with seating for get-togethers. The Onboard60 office has a variety of portals for people to experience virtual spaces.

My book, Web3, A.I. & The Metaverse is out, published a few weeks ago. I already have my second one in revisions. That one will be more of a handbook and guide.

I still keep up with a variety of social media and do my Monday X Space 1 pm EST. Onboard60 Real Talk, where people come share their joys, stuck points and accomplishments.

My curriculum has led me to some experiential learning over Thanksgiving. I have been dipping into “What is a virtual native?”; and reading books, articles, etc. This Thanksgiving, I spent with my niece and her daughter, my great niece, Avalea, who is 11 years old.

I had the pleasure of spending about two or three hours learning and playing Easy Obby, on Roblox. It was difficult for me to keep on the paths, the roads, the sidewalks!! I kept falling to the wayside and inevitably had to start again. What I noticed was the ease and patience my great niece had with me.  She grew up with an iPad in her hand. Roblox comes easy to her. Also Roblox has taught her to have relations from all backgrounds and cultures, use digital tokens (Robux) and digital bank accounts on Roblox, build healthy collaborations and lifelong friendships.

The critical thinking skills and ability to pivot and think quickly were not lost on me either. Her solutions to obstacles came in seconds when I couldn’t even see the obstacle yet.

This 11-year-old is known as a digital native, a virtual native. She grew up in a world of technology.

Virtual natives are changing the way we communicate, interact and work. These young people, virtual natives, are highly social and resourceful, forming allegiances online, working arrangements, and building communities. Virtual natives have flexibility and are comfortable with online life. They have a strong presence in virtual spaces and social media. They are global, building online relationships and influencing discourse through multiple platforms.

What is a Virtual Native?

 

It’s been a while since I’ve had something relevant to share. I have been spending my time learning how to code and understand the basic functions of Python. I also have been building out my virtual spaces in Spatial. The Onboard60 Gallery now has a Network Lounge with seating for get-togethers. The Onboard60 office has a variety of portals for people to experience virtual spaces.

My book, Web3, A.I. & The Metaverse is out, published a few weeks ago. I already have my second one in revisions. That one will be more of a handbook and guide.

I still keep up with a variety of social media and do my Monday X Space 1 pm EST. Onboard60 Real Talk, where people come share their joys, stuck points and accomplishments.

My curriculum has led me to some experiential learning over Thanksgiving. I have been dipping into “What is a virtual native?”; and reading books, articles, etc. This Thanksgiving, I spent with my niece and her daughter, my great niece, Avalea, who is 11 years old.

I had the pleasure of spending about two or three hours learning and playing Easy Obby, on Roblox. It was difficult for me to keep on the paths, the roads, the sidewalks!! I kept falling to the wayside and inevitably had to start again. What I noticed was the ease and patience my great niece had with me.  She grew up with an iPad in her hand. Roblox comes easy to her. Also Roblox has taught her to have relations from all backgrounds and cultures, use digital tokens (Robux) and digital bank accounts on Roblox, build healthy collaborations and lifelong friendships.

The critical thinking skills and ability to pivot and think quickly were not lost on me either. Her solutions to obstacles came in seconds when I couldn’t even see the obstacle yet.

This 11-year-old is known as a digital native, a virtual native. She grew up in a world of technology.

Virtual natives are changing the way we communicate, interact and work. These young people, virtual natives, are highly social and resourceful, forming allegiances online, working arrangements, and building communities. Virtual natives have flexibility and are comfortable with online life. They have a strong presence in virtual spaces and social media. They are global, building online relationships and influencing discourse through multiple platforms.

The impact of virtual natives on the future of society is significant, particularly in the workplace, where their entry into buying power and how people interact with technology is a driving force. Their influence extends economically, socially, and redefining society.

Virtual spaces have become integral to the lives of virtual natives, shaping the way they communicate, interact and build relationships. Social media platforms such as Snapchat, Instagram, X are popular among virtual natives for sharing content, messaging, and staying connected with friends and communities. There are Social Virtual Worlds for users to interact, socialize, and even create their own content.

Multiplayer online gaming platforms provide virtual spaces for virtual natives to socialize, collaborate and compete.

Virtual natives have the skills to adapt to Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Virtual Meetings in the Metaverse easily communicating both professionally and in a personal manner.

Social media is not only used to communicate and connect with friends. Virtual natives use social media to follow their interests, news, different companies, and celebrities. Virtual natives participate in polls, search videos and watch snippets of news on their devices. They are well informed and up to the minute on a lot of relevant happenings. The use of social media has become a primary form of interaction for virtual natives, whether it is connecting with friends, shopping, or working in the digital age.

The landscape being created by virtual natives is one of connection and flexibility. Generations after generations adapted to the way things were. It is refreshing to see things will not be as they always have been. The freedom to live a full life while maintaining the lifestyle desired through using technology is what we must look forward to.  Virtual spaces will be a supplement, an extension of a virtual native’s daily life. Nine to five will be a coffee shop in Paris or Pikes Peak in Colorado. Business meetings held in virtual spaces where people from all over the globe, no matter the time zone, can attend. Virtual travel to faraway places for home bound people or others who are unable to travel, maybe a virtual visit with a grandchild in real time. The possibilities are unimaginable.
