We will soon say goodbye to smartphones, according to Mark Zuckerberg, and they will be replaced by this new device
Technology is advancing at breakneck speed, and every day we are getting closer to the next great invention that will change our lives.
In this context, mobile phones, which have dominated the technology scene for years, may be close to being replaced by a new revolutionary device.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said on the X social network that smart glasses will be the next big technological advancement, and that, as happened with computers, smartphones will be forgotten over time.
- Smartphones are declining
For many years, smartphones have become an essential part of our lives. They are an extension of ourselves, accompanying us everywhere and allowing us to perform almost any task, from communication to financial management or entertainment.
However, Zuckerberg suggests that it’s time to start looking for a successor to phones. Although mobile phones are still a lucrative business, with millions of users upgrading their devices every year, tech companies are working to find the next big thing that could replace smartphones on the throne.
Mark Zuckerberg believes smart glasses have the potential to replace mobile phones in the next decade. But, he says, the change won’t be sudden.
Just as computers have not completely disappeared, but have been reduced in use by mobile phones, smart glasses will gradually begin to replace smartphones in our lives. Meta’s CEO offers a clear analogy: “It will happen like with computers. We continue to use them, but more often than not we prefer to take out our mobile phones for quick or convenient tasks.
Over time, smart glasses will enable more and more activities, prompting users to choose them over their phones.
The development of these glasses is still in its early stages, but companies like Apple and Meta are already betting on them. Although there are other competitors in the market with equally promising products, these two companies have been the leaders in developing smart glasses. Zuckerberg believes that the change will be gradual, but inevitable.
