Mark Zuckerberg predicts smartphones will be eliminated
HOLIDAY NEWS – Smartphones have become the main device for humans in this era. However, according to Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, smartphones will not always rule the world. He predicts that in the future, smart glasses will eliminate smartphones.
“I think (smart) glasses will be the next big computing platform. But every new platform tends not to replace the old ones,” he said recently in an interview.
An example is currently, where even though smartphones are widely used, computers have not disappeared but are used less. “At some point in the last 10 years, mobile devices really became the primary computing platform. "We don't throw away our computers, it's just that even though you have them (computers), you still do more things on your cellphone," he explained.
According to him, smart glasses will have the same fate as smartphones. People in the future will still use smartphones, but more will use smart glasses.
“So what I think will happen with smart glasses is we will get to that point, maybe some time in the 2020s or 2030s where you have a cell phone, but it will be more in your pocket because you will be doing more things on the glasses that maybe now you do it on your cellphone. "Glasses will be your main computer platform," he said.
It's natural for a 40 year old man to say that. The reason is, Zuck, through his company Meta, is actively developing augmented reality (AR) smart glasses and hopes that the gadget will become mainstream, aka many people will like it.
In a separate interview with The Verge, Zuck said regular glasses are so popular that it probably won't be difficult for people to get used to wearing smart glasses.
“There are already 1 to 2 billion people wearing glasses every day. Just as everyone is switching to smartphones, I think everyone who wears glasses will soon be switching to smart glasses in the next decade. "Then I think it will start to become very valuable, and a lot of other people who don't wear glasses now will end up wearing them too," he said.***dtc/mpc/bs
HP Apocalypse in 2030, Mark Zuckerberg Reveals His Replacement
Smart watches or smartwatches were previously predicted as a replacement for future smartphones. However, since they first became popular in 2012 until now, in fact smartwatches can only be 'companions' to smartphones without actually replacing their use.
Meta (Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram) CEO Mark Zuckerberg said there is a new device that is predicted to be a replacement for smartphones. None other than smart glasses or smartglasses.
About 2 years ago, Meta introduced Ray-Ban Stories which is the result of a collaboration with a famous eyewear brand. Ray-Ban Stories combines elegant design with a variety of advanced technologies designed by Meta.
The smartglasses are equipped with a 5MP camera, two speakers and three microphones.
This year, the Ray-Ban Meta was introduced as an evolution of the previous generation. These smartglasses include improvements to the camera, microphone and memory.
"Smartglasses will be the best computing platform in the future," said Zuckerberg, quoted from Diario AS, Wednesday (16/10/2024).
Furthermore, Zuckerberg said that the shape of smart glasses will be more important than smartphones in the future. He compared it to the phenomenon of computers and smartphones.
Nowadays, smartphones are increasingly sophisticated and can accommodate various computer functions in one small device. As a result, smartphones have become a necessity that is used more often in modern society than computers.
There are many professions that no longer need to use a computer, but are required to have a smartphone for daily interactions and doing work.
"Smartglasses will gradually replace smartphones in 2030. It's the same as smartphones today which are starting to become more important than computers, without actually replacing them," he explained.
