However, the founding partner of G4B, Marcela Miranda, maintains that these technologies are not dead, they just lost their hype and headline space. In this regard, he highlighted:
Reddit continues to promote its NFTs, Starbucks recently sold a selection of 2,000 NFTs through its Odyssey customer loyalty program, and PlayStation is testing a well-laid out cross-platform NFT system for gaming.
The metaverse is still going strong, with fashion shows featuring brands like Adidas and Tommy Hilfiger; with uses to expand access to health, as in the Albert Einstein Hospital; and with a fund established by the South Korean Government to support projects in the metaverse.

If you are one of those people who “killed and buried” all these previously advertised technologies, I suggest you revive them as soon as possible… Because you will probably live with many of them. Maybe she already does, but as long as the focus is on the hype, she won’t even notice.
