Mark Zuckerberg announces the end of the cell phone and presents a successor.
Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook, has declared that the age of the cell phone will soon be over. He explains this by saying that many people find cell phones too inconvenient. He already knows the successor to the cell phone.
For many people, the cell phone is an everyday object and is used more than once a day for a number of things. However, Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook and current head of Meta, explained in an interview that the era of the cell phone will soon be over.
What did Zuckerberg say? In a conversation with Cleo Abram on YouTube.com, he talked about technology. And here he explained that smart glasses would become the next big platform for users. Because people want to spend their time in a more natural and social way. And cell phones would get in the way of that. So he says:
'I think the trend in IT is to become more ubiquitous, more natural and more social. So you want to be able to interact with the people around you, and I think that [smart glasses] will probably be the next important platform after cell phones.
What makes him think that? He bases his thesis on the observation that users increasingly value discretion and convenience. The glasses, which are worn directly on the face, offer a more immersive and less intrusive experience than the smartphone.
Several manufacturers have been investing in smart glasses and the Metaverse for several years now
What is the current state of development? Major companies in the industry are already investing in this area, with each presenting their own idea of smart glasses. Apple with the Vision Pro and Meta are the most prominent players, but many other companies are also working on similar projects. And Meta and HTC also offer office applications via the PC that you can use through the glasses.
