I previously didn't think the term metaverse was going to be widely used to refer to the collective of VR/AR/Internet. Now that it's the name of a company, I'm certain that it won't be. It reminds me of the word cyberspace, which has fallen out of use almost entirely.
My guess is that by the time VR and AR are widely adopted, it will just be called "the internet."
